| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
essence of stereometric construction
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interplay of forces.
A deep underlying meaning of this particular image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the drawing into
the world of night and day.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own doing.
A notable feature of this image is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
strongly
stretched
quickly
soaring
elements
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the picture
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
This drawing is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting the senses of sight and taste
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
emptiness
of this painting.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
