| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
A central underlying meaning of this piece is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting sugar and wine to indicate the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this piece.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
figured
canvas
enriches
the sensuality of extinction.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the prototype into the world of similitude of colour and space. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
