| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is often irrefutably altered
by the mere presence
of the onlooker.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
A central underlying meaning of this doodle is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The
essence of surrealism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
A notable feature of this doodle is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
This doodle is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
``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] |
