| Description: |
Contrasts of salt and pepper
dominate
the
vastness
of the drawing.
It is important to understand that the
essence of stereometric construction
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
An important part of this image is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the world of dark and light to indicate a reflection of the process of creation.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the work into
the world of light and dark.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
