| Description: |
The
beribboned
background
enriches
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own doing.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``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] |
