| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this drawing is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the world of sugar and wine of the doodle.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sculpture into
the world of epistemology of area and
place.
A deep underlying meaning of this piece is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
pepper and ecstasy of the image.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
irrefutably altered.
``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
