| Description: |
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
Shaker æsthetics.
In this prototype Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
dark and light.
Contrasts of red wine and ecstasy
dominate
the
emptiness
of this image.
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces.
An interesting side of this image is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
