| Description: |
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
night and day.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is always completely altered
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
