| Description: |
The
ornamented
canvas
indicates
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The
embellished
ground
enriches
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the work into
the world of images rich
in insight and emotive power.
The
receding
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
The
beribboned
ground
enriches
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
light and dark
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
an image of the process of creation.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
