| Description: |
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own doing.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
external
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.
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the perception
of the outer surface.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create a strong interplay of forces.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting colour and space in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind light and shade... Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. The beribboned figure enriches the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and touch of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a tribute to celebration. An interesting aspect of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the strongly stretched downward flying elements to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought. Contrasts of ecstasy and the dualistic essense of unreality march across the broad scope of this work. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
