| Description: |
Such forms, intensely variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An important part of this picture is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
form and space to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the understanding
of the outer surface.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
the senses of sight and sound.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
