| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
Contrasts of light and shade
dominate
the
vastness
of the image.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
An important part of the picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A central underlying meaning of this particular picture is that it is a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
Sol Aris has not commented on the colour pallette of this painting. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
