| Description: |
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes in a different form
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
The emphatically factual experience of
form and space in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
An interesting side of this particular carving is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``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] |
