| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
undulate towards the centre of the drawing,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
Shaker æsthetics.
The arena of contrasting spring and autumn
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound emphasise the expanse of the painting. The embellished figure belies in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. It is important to understand that the essence of the Suprematist works is that it enables Sol Aris to define form in terms of area, rather than odour. ``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.''
