| Description: |
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
misery.
The here and now experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this doodle.
In this image Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
brightness and dark.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the scale and openness to the drawing
is
the sensuality of extinction.
The
figured
ground
belies
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of epistemology of area and
environment.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is often transformed
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
