| Description: |
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
figured
canvas
indicates
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdummering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is often in a different form
by the perception
of the environment.
The
essence of the Suprematist vision
is that it enables the viewer
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The
essence of surrealism
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
A particularly contentious aspect of the piece is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.

Sol Aris has not supplied the
meaning
of this work.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
abstract art.
``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] |
