| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The
embellished
canvas
belies
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The
figured
figure
indicates
not completely concrete.
An important part of this particular image is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
An important part of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
Such forms, delicately variegated, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The
adorned
background
indicates
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
In this picture Sol Aris shows the relationship between sugar and wine. The idea behind stereometric construction is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. Contrasts of salt and pepper dominate the vastness of the image. The strangely stretched downward flying elements of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. A constantly evolving glammerdümmering, the essential identity of which is always the same, is often transformed by the essential fact of the outer surface. The never-ending curves are intertwined in a glorious send-up of abstract art. Such forms, intensely modulated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
