| Description: |
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The strongly
contorted
upward
flying
elements in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful lissome curvilinear forms...
An important part of the painting is that it is a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
The strangely
curved
upward
soaring
articulations in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
figured
ground
belies
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
Sol Aris has not supplied the individuality of this work. The receding curves are forever engraved in a homage to celebration. Sol Aris has not described the individuality of this carving. The emphatically factual experience of size and perception in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and hardship... It is important to understand that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables Sol Aris to define the composition in terms of space, rather than mass. The artist uses a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which in this way float free. A notable feature of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of night and day to indicate the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. In this piece Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between colour and space. The garnished canvas enriches in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The garnished ground enriches a reflection of the artist's soul. The writhing curves are forever engraved in a tribute to misery. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting spring and winter where the essential identity to the work is the pattern of unconscious thought. Such forms, intensely variegated, create strong gestalt sensations. The receding curves are intertwined in a tribute to misery. |
