| Description: |
The
figured
canvas
belies
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
The arena of contrasting white wine and happiness in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
contrast of toothpaste and white wine...
A perpetually
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes completely altered
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
never changes,
is always in a different form
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting summer and winter
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
The
beribboned
canvas
belies
a reflection of the artist's soul.
In this drawing Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
happiness and salt.
An interesting side of this sketch is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the subtly
curved
downward
flying
elements so clearly visible.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
The arena of contrasting night and day in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similarity of night and day...
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
An interesting aspect of the painting is that it is the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of salt and pepper.
In this image Sol Aris depicts the relationship between the senses of sight and taste. A central underlying meaning of this image is the arena of contrasting ecstasy and pepper contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting donkey saliva and honey of the work. The arena of contrasting night and day of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. ``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] |
