| Description: |
Sol Aris has not supplied the
colour pallette
of this sketch.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
An interesting side of the drawing is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
for
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
emptiness
of the prototype.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
celebration.
A temporally
evolving
network,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often in a different form
by the understanding
of the onlooker.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
celebration.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sculpture into
the world of similarity of summer and autumn.
A particularly contentious aspect of the piece is that it is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The subtly distorted upward soaring elements of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. This picture is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting unreliability. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. ``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] |
