| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
celebration.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and sight
emphasise
the
expanse
of this sculpture.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
