| Description: |
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
constructive colour theory.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
the Suprematist theory.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create a strong interplay of forces.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
meaning
of this work.
In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. Sol Aris has not described the colour pallette of this image. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. A perpetually evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which remains unchanged, is often transformed by the mere presence of the onlooker. The endless curves are closed in a homage to constructive colour theory. Sol Aris has not commented on the aspect ratio of this sketch. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
