| Description: |
The world of white wine and the dualistic essense of unreality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always the same,
is always irrefutably altered
by the perception
of the reviewer.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
broad scope
of the image.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the perception
of the viewer.
The
decorated
figure
indicates
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
