| Description: |
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
This picture is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting brightness and dark
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the image
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
An important part of the carving is that it is the eternal dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
