| Description: |
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
A constantly evolving evanescence, the essential identity of which is always the same, is often in a different form by the essential fact of the viewer. A deep underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. This striking piece is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the here and now experience of size and perception where the scale and openness to the piece is not completely concrete. |
