| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
beribboned
background
enriches
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our very being.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of images rich
in meaning and association.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The
never-ending
curves
are
enjoined
in a homage to
celebration.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
This sketch is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the image
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The subtly
curved
downward
reaching
elements in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
delicate lissome curves...
