| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong feelings.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and taste
dominate
the
emptiness
of this sketch.
The
figured
background
indicates
the sensuality of extinction.
An important part of this sculpture is the world of red wine and sugar
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
title
of this prototype.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in insight and association...
A constantly
changing
network,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often unrecognizably altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
