| Description: |
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An important part of this piece is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
size and perception to indicate the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. A particularly contentious aspect of this drawing is the world of the senses of sight and sound contrasting strongly with the world of light and dark of the work. The artist uses traditional proportions to shape the colours, which can by this means float free. |
