| Description: |
An important part of the painting is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
light and dark.
The
receding
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
Contrasts of brightness and shade
dominate
the
broad scope
of this painting.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the sensuality of extinction.
``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] |
