| Description: |
The emphatically factual experience of
colour and space
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
``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] |
