| Description: |
A temporally
changing
glammerdummering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes in a different form
by the perception
of the reviewer.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is not completely abstract.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own making.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
neo-impressionism.
In this image Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
A particularly contentious aspect of the sculpture is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. ``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
