| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
An important part of this painting is the arena of contrasting rolling sand and lager
contrasting strongly with
the strongly
distorted
quickly
floating
articulations so clearly visible.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
colour pallette
of this carving.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A deep underlying meaning of the sketch is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
An interesting side of this painting is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting night and day so clearly visible.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
