| Description: |
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of colour and space
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sketch into
the world of epistemology of space and
place.
``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] |
