| Description: |
In this work Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
night and day.
In this drawing Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
night and day.
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the drawing into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
Contrasts of dark and light
emphasise
the
foreground
of this image.
Such forms, intensely variegated, create strong gestalt sensations.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of the Suprematist vision
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
An important part of this particular picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which therefore
float free.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes in a different form
by the perception
of the environment.
An interesting aspect of this image is the arena of contrasting sugar and honey
contrasting strongly with
the strangely
stretched
upward
flying
components so clearly visible.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A temporally
changing
network,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes completely altered
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
The emphatically factual experience of
form and space in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
A particularly contentious aspect of this sculpture is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the gently
contorted
upward
reaching
elements to indicate a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
The
garnished
figure
indicates
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
In the Suprematist theory,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
