| Description: |
Contrasts of the senses of smell and sight
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this work.
The
never-ending
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
colour pallette
of this painting.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
A central underlying meaning of this particular sketch is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.'' [Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit] |
