| Description: |
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which thus
float free.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting dark and light
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
A notable feature of this particular image is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
