| Description: |
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is always irrefutably altered
by the understanding
of the onlooker.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
night and day.
Sol Aris has not described the
meaning
of this work.
Contrasts of salt and rolling sand
march across
the
emptiness
of this painting.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdümmering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is often transformed
by the essential fact
of the environment.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
