| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the sketch into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom.
The arena of contrasting red wine and lager
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``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] |
