| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this particular image is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The
adorned
background
belies
the sensuality of intoxification.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
price
of this image.
A notable feature of this particular picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
colour pallette
of this drawing.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of salt and pepper.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting sugar and wine of the piece.
``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]
