| Description: |
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
here and now experience of
sugar and wine
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
A notable feature of this prototype is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than odour.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
