| Description: |
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is often in a different form
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
The
major feature of abstract art
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
It is important to understand that the
essence of stereometric construction
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
``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] |
