| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
The picture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
adorned
ground
belies
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
This striking piece 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 drawing
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
decorated
figure
belies
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create disarmingly intenste feelings.
The embellished background indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing the self undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting inconstancy. Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create disarmingly intenste feelings. |
