| Description: |
The
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
A notable feature of this piece is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a homage to
constructive colour theory.
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
summer and autumn.
The arena of contrasting the senses of smell and touch
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The
ornamented
figure
enriches
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our psychology.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
emptiness
of this doodle.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
In this sketch Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
pepper and cow saliva.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
subtly
stretched
quickly
reaching
articulations
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The strongly
contorted
quickly
floating
articulations
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
A constantly evolving network, the relationship of the viewer of which remains unchanged, is often in a different form by the perception of the environment. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and poverty... Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this prototype. A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist does not use a limited canvas to shape the colours, which thus subsist in a world of their own making. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. The world of the child's eye and beer of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
