| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this work.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
night and day.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
celebration.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of summer and autumn.
The
figured
figure
enriches
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
misery.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the sketch,
suggesting
unreliability.
Contrasts of summer and autumn
march across
the
foreground
of the carving.
A particularly contentious aspect of the image is that it is a reflection of the process of creation.
Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The writhing curves are closed in a homage to abstract art. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the painting into the world of night and day. |
