| Description: |
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The here and now experience of
colour and space in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
delicate sinuous curves...
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
