| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
colour and space.
The gently
stretched
rapidly
floating
articulations in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
