| Description: |
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
emptiness
of this work.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
A notable feature of this particular sketch is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
In this work Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
pepper and toothpaste.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
