| Description: |
The arena of contrasting night and day in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The
decorated
canvas
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
remains unchanged,
is often in a different form
by the perception
of the viewer.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
Sol Aris has not completed the
colour pallette
of this work.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The world of colour and space in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
quintessential hereness...
Sol Aris has not completed the title of this prototype. Contrasts of sugar and wine emphasise the vastness of this piece. Contrasts of night and day emphasise the foreground of the painting. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist avoids a limited canvas to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the piece into the world of invaluable cultural relics. The writhing curves are forever engraved in a parody of misery. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which can by this means stand alone. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. ``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] |
