| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
Shaker æsthetics.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``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] |
