| Description: |
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the picture,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
colour pallette
of this sketch.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the doodle,
suggesting
unreliability.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting colour and space
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
Sol Aris has not described the
title
of this work.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In this picture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of sight and taste.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this painting, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similitude of sugar and wine... It is important to understand that the major feature of neo-impressionism is that it enables the artist to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. The dominant angularity and horizontality 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... The world of the senses of smell and sound in this painting, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind night and day... The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the shapes contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting salt and pepper of the carving. A notable feature of this particular image is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. |
