| Description: |
Contrasts of spring and autumn
march across
the
expanse
of the carving.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations.
An important part of this particular sketch is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
``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] |
