| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the piece into
the world of delicate lissome curves.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
aspect ratio
of this sketch.
The
never-ending
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
surrealism.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
In this painting Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
colour and space.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
quintessential hereness...
The embellished ground enriches the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. In this image Sol Aris shows the relationship between salt and pepper. In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between brightness and shade. |
