| Description: |
Contrasts of summer and winter
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this sketch.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
An important part of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the strongly
twisted
rapidly
reaching
elements so clearly visible.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
celebration.
The world of sugar and wine in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of graceful sinuous curvilinear forms.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
