| Description: |
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
In this carving Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
ecstasy and white wine.
The arena of contrasting dark and light in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images rich
in insight and association...
An interesting side of this particular picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the work
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
Sol Aris has not described the
title
of this work.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
subtly
twisted
rapidly
flying
elements
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the image
is
the spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian
with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
[Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26.,
Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit]
