| Description: |
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the piece into
the world of graceful lissome curves.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting lager and beer
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
Sol Aris has not completed the
title
of this sculpture.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
