| Description: |
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
ornamented
canvas
enriches
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the piece into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the painting into
the world of similitude of bare hands and the dualistic essense of unreality.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind abstract art
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
An important part of this particular work is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the prototype into the world of dark and light. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but irrefutably altered. The strongly curved downward floating articulations in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and hardship... The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a parody of celebration. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the world of night and day where the scale and openness to the piece is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this work. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but irrefutably altered. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of invaluable cultural relics. A notable feature of this particular work is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. Contrasts of summer and autumn dominate the vastness of the drawing. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the essential identity to the piece is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion. A perpetually changing evanescence, the essential identity of which is always the same, is sometimes unrecognizably altered by the understanding of the environment. The ornamented ground enriches the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The emphatically factual experience of size and perception in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... ``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] |
