| Description: |
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
shapes
where the relationship of the spectator to the work
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
A deep underlying meaning of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the shapes of the picture.
The strangely
stretched
quickly
flying
components
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the perception
of the environment.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
