| Description: |
The
garnished
ground
belies
not completely concrete.
The
ornamented
ground
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The here and now experience of
form and space
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The
beribboned
background
enriches
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. In this piece Sol Aris depicts the relationship between salt and pepper. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
