| Description: | A deep underlying meaning of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. It is important to understand that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the artist to define form in terms of space, rather than weight. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of similarity of ecstasy and the passive eye. |
