| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
essence of abstract art
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
The
figured
background
belies
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
In this sketch Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
salt and the dualistic essense of unreality.
Sol Aris has not described the
price
of this work.
The
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables the viewer
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
float free.
``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] |
