| Description: |
A notable feature of this particular sculpture is that it is an image of the process of creation.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which therefore
float free.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the scale and openness to the work
is
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the picture,
suggesting
unreliability.
``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
