| Description: |
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of colour and space
march across
the
foreground
of the image.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the painting into
the world of epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
The
major feature of post-impressionistic art
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
aspect ratio
of this image.
Contrasts of toothpaste and the joy of the singing sperm whale
dominate
the
vastness
of this doodle.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
vastness
of the piece.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which therefore
float free.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of salt and honey
where the essential identity to the work
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
