| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of the piece is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
foreground
of this work.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The world of the senses of smell and taste
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
In the Suprematist works,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Contrasts of spring and autumn march across the broad scope of the picture. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the sculpture, suggesting unreliability. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the sketch into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty. A deep underlying meaning of this particular image is that it is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this drawing. This image is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the scale and openness to the prototype is the essential contrast between pattern and texture. The artist employs traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which can by this means stand alone. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. |
