| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
receding
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
stereometric construction.
Contrasts of night and day
march across
the
emptiness
of the carving.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. Contrasts of lager and sugar emphasise the vastness of the doodle. Contrasts of night and day march across the expanse of this carving. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a glorious send-up of celebration. In this work Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between salt and pepper. The ornamented figure belies the sensuality of extinction. The adorned background enriches in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. |
