| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
idea behind neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The
ornamented
background
enriches
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The
embellished
background
indicates
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of images steeped
in meaning and emotion.
Contrasts of night and day
march across
the
broad scope
of this painting.
The world of lager and white wine
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``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] |
