| Description: |
The shapes in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
Sol Aris has not described the
aspect ratio
of this drawing.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations.
The receding curves are intertwined in a glorious send-up of misery. The essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages the viewer to understand form in terms of area, rather than mass. Contrasts of spring and autumn emphasise the emptiness of the work. Sol Aris has not described the title of this piece. ``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] |
