| Description: |
In this drawing Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
colour and space.
A deep underlying meaning of this image is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is sometimes in a different form
by the perception
of the reviewer.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
adorned
canvas
belies
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
