| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In this work Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
colour and space.
The here and now experience of
size and perception in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful lissome curves...
In this doodle Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the senses of sight and sound.
A particularly contentious aspect of the image is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Contrasts of brightness and dark
dominate
the
emptiness
of the picture.
``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] |
