| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this picture is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
A notable feature of this particular carving is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
emphatically factual experience of
unshod feet and white wine
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
A central underlying meaning of this image is the arena of contrasting sugar and wine
contrasting strongly with
the world of salt and pepper so clearly visible.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create a strong interaction of forces.
The
never-ending
curves
are
enjoined
in a homage to
stereometric construction.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the image into
the world of similitude of colour and space.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
The strongly
twisted
downward
reaching
components in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful sinuous curves...
The
endless
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
misery.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea...
It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which
is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling,
rather intricately pretty,
and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration
because it's too obsessed.''
