| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this piece is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the strangely
twisted
upward
soaring
articulations to indicate in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
Contrasts of spring and autumn
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this doodle.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
environment...
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
strongly
contorted
downward
flying
components
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting bare hands and rolling sand
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The carving shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting inconstancy. The artist employs a rectangular grid to define the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own making. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line for power and authority undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting inconstancy. |
