| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in meaning and emotive power...
An interesting side of this sketch is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
form and space so clearly visible.
An important part of this carving is the subtly
distorted
upward
soaring
components
contrasting strongly with
the subtly
contorted
quickly
floating
elements so clearly visible.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
