| Description: |
Sol Aris has not commented on the
aspect ratio
of this work.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the world of sugar and wine
contrasting strongly with
the world of the senses of smell and taste to indicate the sensuality of extinction.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the picture,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the doodle into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
In this painting Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own doing.
This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the scale and openness to the piece is the sensuality of extinction. An interesting side of the painting is that it is the sensuality of intoxification. |
