| Description: |
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
ornamented
ground
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
A temporally
evolving
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
A particularly contentious aspect of this painting is the emphatically factual experience of
night and day
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the image.
Sol Aris has not supplied the meaning of this work. ``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] |
