| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this drawing is the world of night and day
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the sensuality of extinction.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An important part of this particular drawing is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the prototype into
the world of images steeped
in insight and association.
The world of sugar and wine in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of space and
place...
