| Description: |
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which thus
float free.
A perpetually
changing
network,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is often unrecognizably altered
by the mere presence
of the environment.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
colour and space...
Sol Aris has not commented on the
individuality
of this sculpture.
The
figured
background
indicates
a reflection of the artist's soul.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
