| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the carving into
the world of delicate sinuous curves.
This carving is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
Contrasts of colour and space
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this sculpture.
Contrasts of dark and light
march across
the
foreground
of this painting.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
This piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the world of salt and salt where the relationship of the viewer to the image is the pattern of unconscious thought. The decorated background belies the sensuality of intoxification. |
