| Description: |
The
ornamented
background
indicates
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
celebration.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the gently
twisted
upward
reaching
articulations
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
size and perception so clearly visible.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
