| Description: |
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
stereometric construction.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
This sketch is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting summer and winter
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the sensuality of extinction.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the work into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
constructive colour theory.
``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] |
