| Description: |
In this prototype Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
The world of salt and white wine in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and poverty...
A notable feature of this prototype is the arena of contrasting donkey hair and happiness contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality of the work. The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. This doodle is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the relationship of the spectator to the image is a reflection of the artist's soul. The essence of abstract art is that it enables Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than mass. A central underlying meaning of the work is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. The layers of approaching curves are forever engraved in a parody of surrealism. A temporally changing glammerdümmering, the scale and openness of which is always constant, is sometimes irrefutably altered by the mere presence of the reviewer. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
