| Description: |
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the scale and openness to the work
is
an image of the process of creation.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
This piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the spectator to the picture
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The
beribboned
canvas
indicates
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
``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] |
