| Description: |
The here and now experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
A notable feature of this painting is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
form and space to indicate a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
``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] |
