| Description: |
A temporally
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the perception
of the viewer.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in insight and emotive power...
Contrasts of salt and pepper
dominate
the
emptiness
of this painting.
The
beribboned
background
enriches
not completely abstract.
Contrasts of summer and winter
march across
the
vastness
of the prototype.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is often in a different form
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often transformed
by the perception
of the onlooker.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
Contrasts of brightness and dark dominate the foreground of the image. The artist uses traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. The ornamented ground indicates the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The artist employs a limited canvas to contain the colours, which in this way stand alone. An important part of this particular image is that it is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self undulate towards the centre of the doodle, suggesting inconstancy. This sculpture is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the essential identity to the piece is the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
