| Description: |
The
endless
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the prototype
is
not completely abstract.
A notable feature of the sketch is that it is a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
This painting is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
