| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A deep underlying meaning of the sculpture is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
This work is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the work
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the spectator to the prototype
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and sound.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the picture.
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] |
