| Description: |
Sol Aris has not supplied the
meaning
of this image.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
emphasise
the
expanse
of the doodle.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of images rich
in meaning and association.
It is important to understand that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
endless
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in meaning and association...
In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of which remains unchanged, is sometimes transformed by the understanding of the viewer. This prototype is representative of 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 spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. |
