| Description: |
Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound
march across
the
expanse
of this piece.
The arena of contrasting colour and space
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
