| Description: |
An important part of this piece is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
celebration.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
emptiness
of the sketch.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and poverty...
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
constructive colour theory.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
A perpetually
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes transformed
by the understanding
of the viewer.
This striking piece is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the gently twisted rapidly floating components where the scale and openness to the piece is the sensuality of intoxification. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. |
