| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
garnished
figure
belies
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
In this doodle Sol Aris shows the relationship between colour and space. A constantly evolving glammerdummering, the essential identity of which is always the same, is sometimes in a different form by the perception of the viewer. Sol Aris has not commented on the colour pallette of this sculpture. The figured background belies a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self. The shapes of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but completely altered. Such forms, both serene and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The artist uses traditional proportions to shape the colours, which therefore float free. Sol Aris has not described the colour pallette of this piece. The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the work into the world of delicate lissome curves. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The endless curves are intertwined in a tribute to misery. |
