| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which thus
float free.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
world of the senses of smell and sight
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
The
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
It is important to understand that the
essence of constructive colour theory
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which therefore
float free.
The world of honey and sugar in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
``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.''
[describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
