| Description: |
The
adorned
canvas
enriches
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than odour.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
An interesting aspect of this image is the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and touch
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the carving.
The
garnished
canvas
belies
a reflection of the artist's soul.
