| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of the image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
individuality
of this sketch.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
An interesting side of this particular image is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
A constantly
changing
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always constant,
is often irrefutably altered
by the mere presence
of the environment.
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this sketch.
A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the essential identity of which remains unchanged, is always completely altered by the essential fact of the viewer. A notable feature of this prototype is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the world of summer and winter to indicate the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of brightness and dark. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. ``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
