| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
The
garnished
ground
belies
a reflection of the process of creation.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the doodle into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Contrasts of honey and pig saliva
emphasise
the
expanse
of this work.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The
beribboned
canvas
belies
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
A particularly contentious aspect of the prototype is that it is an image of the process of creation.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of delicate sinuous curvilinear forms.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
