| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The
beribboned
background
belies
not completely concrete.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Contrasts of unshod feet and the human nose
march across
the
vastness
of this work.
The strongly
stretched
upward
reaching
components in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
In this drawing Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
brightness and shade.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. In this image Sol Aris depicts the relationship between spring and autumn. The beribboned canvas indicates the essential difference between pattern and texture. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of epistemology of area and environment. Sol Aris has not supplied the meaning of this image. |
