| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
``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] |
