| Description: |
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
never-ending
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
post-impressionistic art.
The world of colour and space in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
``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] |
