| Description: |
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In this piece Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of sight and touch.
An important part of this particular prototype is that it is not completely abstract.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The world of sugar and wine in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but irrefutably altered. A deep underlying meaning of this work is the strangely contorted downward soaring articulations contrasting strongly with the shapes of the sketch. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
