| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this sketch.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion.
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The shapes in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful sinuous curves...
``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] |
