| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular sketch is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
Sol Aris has not described the
colour pallette
of this image.
In the Suprematist vision,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a homage to
misery.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind abstract art
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
It is useful to note that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The
adorned
background
indicates
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the world of toothpaste and unshod feet where the scale and openness to the piece is a reflection of the artist's soul. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. Such forms, intensely variegated, create a strong interplay of forces. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. Contrasts of the dualistic essense of unreality and ecstasy march across the foreground of this drawing. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. A particularly contentious aspect of this painting is the gently stretched downward floating articulations contrasting strongly with the world of night and day so clearly visible. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. Semiotically, we see the leading centralism representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Sol Aris has not described the title of this work. ``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] |
