| Description: |
This image is
representative 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 piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create disarmingly intenste feelings.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sketch into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Such forms, serene and majestic, create strong gestalt sensations. An interesting side of the piece is that it is a reflection of the process of creation. It is important to understand that the idea behind stereometric construction is that it encourages the artist to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than weight. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. A particularly contentious aspect of this prototype is the world of the senses of smell and sound contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting salt and pepper so clearly visible. |
