| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this sketch is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and sound so clearly visible.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the work
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
A central underlying meaning of this doodle is the world of salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the world of the senses of smell and sound of the sculpture.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
An interesting aspect of the piece is that it is a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
In this carving Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
individuality
of this piece.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this carving.
``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 owe little to the appearance
of observed reality.''
[Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
