| Description: |
A deep underlying meaning of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate the spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create a strong interplay of forces.
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which thus
float free.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
