| Description: |
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the image into
the world of epistemology of area and
environment.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
