| Description: |
Contrasts of red wine and toothpaste
march across
the
expanse
of the work.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
colour pallette
of this carving.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of the senses of smell and sound
where the scale and openness to the work
is
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our very being.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
A temporally changing evanescence, the essential identity of which is always the same, is often transformed by the understanding of the reviewer. In this doodle Sol Aris delineates the relationship between night and day. An interesting side of this particular work is that it is a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed. The artist employs a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own making. Sol Aris has not completed the individuality of this image. In this work Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between salt and pepper. The artist uses a rectangular grid to restrict the colours, which can by this means stand alone. An important part of this picture is the shapes contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the sensuality of extinction. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the sketch into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind graceful lissome curvilinear forms... The artist uses a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which therefore stand alone. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
