| Description: |
In this carving Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
colour and space.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
garnished
figure
belies
not completely abstract.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
