| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the doodle into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
It is important to understand that the
essence of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
