| Description: |
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
gently
curved
downward
soaring
components
where the relationship of the viewer to the work
is
not completely abstract.
The
beribboned
background
enriches
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
In this work Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
dark and light.
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is often entirely altered
by the perception
of the reviewer.
The
embellished
ground
indicates
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
unreliability.
``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] |
