| Description: |
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sight
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
dark and light.
A deep underlying meaning of the sculpture is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
surrealism.
An interesting aspect of this particular image is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
unreliability.
An important part of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
