| Description: |
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own doing.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
The
decorated
ground
enriches
the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The here and now experience of
form and space in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
The strangely
stretched
rapidly
floating
components in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
