| Description: |
The gently
distorted
rapidly
flying
elements in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similitude of the senses of smell and taste...
Sol Aris has not supplied the
individuality
of this drawing.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of the Suprematist school
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
``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] |
