| Description: |
The
beribboned
canvas
belies
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
A notable feature of this particular image is that it is the essential difference between pattern and texture.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the drawing into
the world of images steeped
in meaning and emotion.
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this work.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
unreliability.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this work.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004] |
