| Description: |
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A central underlying meaning of this carving is the here and now experience of
night and day
contrasting strongly with
the world of ecstasy and pepper so clearly visible.
Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
The arena of contrasting salt and lager in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
An important part of this picture is the subtly
curved
rapidly
flying
articulations
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
night and day to indicate a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The world of the senses of smell and sight
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
Sol Aris has not described the
aspect ratio
of this painting.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting red wine and rolling sand
where the scale and openness to the sculpture
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Contrasts of honey and sugar
emphasise
the
expanse
of the image.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a homage to
misery.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
emphasise
the
vastness
of this work.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
``The dialogue created by
the comination of textures, colours,
and dimensions evokes nature in
its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression.
Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions
represent man's drive for interpreting reality
and our mental processes.
In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist
struggles to find inner serenity
and to convey it in his work.
Each piece becomes
a unique instance of
wholeness within the
labyringht of life.''
[describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
