| Description: |
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
An important part of this particular sketch is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations. The beribboned canvas belies a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
