| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the image into
the world of images strong
in meaning and association.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting spring and autumn
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the doodle
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
The
major feature of the Suprematist vision
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
vastness
of this drawing.
``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] |
