| Description: |
An important part of this image is the arena of contrasting summer and autumn
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a homage to
celebration.
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
