| Description: |
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
float free.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
float free.
The
never-ending
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
misery.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the drawing
is
the sensuality of extinction.
A notable feature of this painting is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting salt and pepper of the carving.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
An interesting aspect of the sculpture is that it is not completely concrete.
The
never-ending
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
misery.
A perpetually
evolving
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
is always constant,
is often entirely altered
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
``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.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004] |
