| Description: |
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
In this painting Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
colour and space.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a homage to
misery.
A deep underlying meaning of this particular drawing is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
An important part of this particular work is that it is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is an image of the process of creation. The artist employs traditional proportions to shape the colours, which can by this means stand alone. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the picture into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
