| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of images rich
in meaning and emotion.
Contrasts of beer and the dualistic essense of unreality
dominate
the
foreground
of the image.
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this work.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
the senses of smell and touch...
Contrasts of brightness and dark
march across
the
expanse
of the doodle.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The strongly distorted rapidly flying components in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... This image is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the shapes where the essential identity to the work is the essential difference between pattern and texture. The emphatically factual experience of form and space of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. |
