| Description: |
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting sugar and the freedom of the singing walrus in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similitude of the senses of sight and taste...
The strangely
curved
quickly
soaring
elements in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
