| Description: |
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
Contrasts of summer and winter
march across
the
expanse
of the work.
In this picture Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
Shaker æsthetics.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of salt and pepper
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the sculpture
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the sculpture into
the world of slender lissome curves.
The arena of contrasting colour and space
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not completed the
title
of this drawing.
``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 owe little to the appearance
of observed reality.''
[Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
