| Description: |
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting beer and salt
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A central underlying meaning of this painting is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate the eternal dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
An interesting side of this prototype is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
dark and light to indicate not completely concrete.
The arena of contrasting sugar and wine
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
