| Description: |
The
beribboned
background
indicates
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the work into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The
receding
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
misery.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``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] |
