| Description: |
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
In this image Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of slender lissome curvilinear forms. ``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.''
