| Description: |
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong sensations.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular carving is that it is not completely concrete.
The
beribboned
figure
indicates
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness.
Contrasts of dark and light
march across
the
vastness
of this piece.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the sketch into
the world of slender sinuous curves.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A deep underlying meaning of the doodle is that it is not completely concrete.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the viewer to the image
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
Contrasts of salt and pepper dominate the foreground of this work. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the picture into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. The world of the senses of smell and sight of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but in a different form. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this carving, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of area and quintessential hereness... Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces. Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising the self undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting inconstancy. A particularly contentious aspect of the drawing is that it is an image of the process of creation. The receding curves are enjoined in a parody of post-impressionistic art. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but entirely altered. The artist employs a limited canvas to contain the colours, which therefore float free. |
