| Description: |
Such forms, serene and majestic, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the prototype into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
The shapes in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
light and dark.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create a strong interplay of forces.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
