| Description: |
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A particularly contentious aspect of the work is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The decorated background belies a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. |
