| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and sound
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the picture.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
This sculpture is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The here and now experience of pepper and salt of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but entirely altered. The garnished canvas belies a reflection of the process of creation. The garnished figure indicates a reflection of the artist's soul. It is useful to note that the major feature of the Suprematist works is that it encourages the artist to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. |
