| Description: |
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
world of salt and pepper
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Sol Aris has not described the
individuality
of this sculpture.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
