| Description: |
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and taste.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
is always constant,
is always in a different form
by the perception
of the onlooker.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
