| Description: |
The world of colour and space
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
entirely altered.
Contrasts of colour and space
dominate
the
expanse
of the image.
In this doodle Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of smell and sound.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of colour and space.
The arena of contrasting lager and white wine in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the picture,
suggesting
unreliability.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The
writhing
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
misery.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of contrast of brightness and dark.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, intensely variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
An interesting aspect of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
A notable feature of this particular sketch is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The
embellished
background
belies
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The here and now experience of
size and perception in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The artist avoids a limited canvas to contain the colours, which can by this means stand alone. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. This doodle is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the sensuality of extinction. The receding curves are enjoined in a tribute to neo-impressionism. The idea behind post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the artist to define the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. |
