It is useful to note that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The artist does not use traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own doing. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis for power and authority undulate towards the centre of the picture, suggesting inconstancy. In this work Sol Aris depicts the relationship between the senses of smell and taste. This painting is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. Sol Aris has not described the individuality of this work. ``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] |
