| Description: |
The world of light and shade in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and poverty...
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
stereometric construction.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
