| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this doodle.
In this image Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the senses of smell and taste.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the work
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
In this work Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this picture.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the sketch,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``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]
