| Description: |
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
honey and pepper.
The strangely
twisted
rapidly
floating
elements
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the doodle into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and sight
emphasise
the
expanse
of the work.
``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] |
