| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
the senses of sight and smell...
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The arena of contrasting beer and happiness
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
Such forms, delicately modulated, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The figured ground enriches the sensuality of intoxification. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
