| Description: |
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
An interesting aspect of the work is that it is the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
Contrasts of unshod feet and rolling sand
dominate
the
foreground
of the doodle.
The world of summer and autumn
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sketch into
the world of similitude of spring and autumn.
In this carving Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this picture.
A temporally
changing
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
The beribboned figure indicates the sensuality of intoxification. The artist employs traditional proportions to contain the colours, which in this way stand alone. ``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] |
