| Description: |
An important part of the drawing is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
A central underlying meaning of this carving is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
summer and autumn so clearly visible.
The shapes in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
bare feet and honey...
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the carving into
the world of similitude of colour and space.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The artist does not use a limited canvas to define the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own choosing. A central underlying meaning of this drawing is the world of dark and light contrasting strongly with the shapes so clearly visible. Sol Aris has not commented on the title of this carving. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
