| Description: |
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
