| Description: |
A perpetually
changing
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always constant,
is always transformed
by the perception
of the environment.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the image
is
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
