| Description: |
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own doing.
In the Suprematist school,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A constantly changing glammerdummering, the scale and openness of which remains unchanged, is sometimes completely altered by the perception of the reviewer. The writhing curves are forever engraved in a tribute to celebration. In this sculpture Sol Aris shows the relationship between night and day. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
