| Description: |
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
abstract art.
The world of salt and pepper
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
An important part of this particular drawing is that it is the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The
beribboned
background
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
``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] |
