| Description: |
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
title
of this carving.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this prototype.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes irrefutably altered
by the mere presence
of the onlooker.
The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of epistemology of area and environment. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Sol Aris has not supplied the price of this sketch. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the prototype, suggesting inconstancy. The endless curves are forever engraved in a tribute to misery. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
