| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of the drawing is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
A notable feature of the image is that it is a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the drawing,
suggesting
unreliability.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the sensuality of extinction.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly intenste feelings.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
