| Description: |
In this picture Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
colour and space.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
for
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
An interesting aspect of this prototype is the world of brightness and dark
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
night and day so clearly visible.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the prototype into
the world of similarity of night and day.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
