| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the doodle into
the world of images rich
in meaning and association.
The
major feature of surrealism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
``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] |
