| Description: |
This carving is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the viewer to the painting
is
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
