| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
A deep underlying meaning of the sculpture is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
Contrasts of colour and space
emphasise
the
broad scope
of the picture.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes transformed
by the understanding
of the viewer.
The
embellished
canvas
indicates
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of light and shade
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis for power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. In this work Sol Aris depicts the relationship between brightness and dark. ``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.''
