| Description: |
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
A central underlying meaning of the work is that it is a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
