| Description: |
An important part of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of brightness and shade
emphasise
the
expanse
of the drawing.
It is useful to note that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
A notable feature of this image is the arena of contrasting the dualistic essense of unreality and unshod feet
contrasting strongly with
the world of dark and light to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea...
It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which
is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling,
rather intricately pretty,
and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration
because it's too obsessed.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232]
