| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images rich
in insight and emotive power...
In this painting Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in insight and emotive power...
Sol Aris has not commented on the
aspect ratio
of this doodle.
An important part of this particular image is that it is an image of the process of creation.
The never-ending curves are enjoined in a parody of neo-impressionism. The receding curves are forever engraved in a parody of celebration. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. An interesting aspect of this piece is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate not completely concrete. An important part of this prototype is the arena of contrasting red wine and bare feet contrasting strongly with the here and now experience of the senses of sight and taste so clearly visible. Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the essential identity to the piece is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this painting. |
