| Description: |
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
It is important to understand that the
essence of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
The
essence of abstract art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
