| Description: |
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
broad scope
of this image.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the painting into
the world of graceful sinuous curvilinear forms.
Contrasts of salt and pepper emphasise the vastness of the painting. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
