| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
The
ornamented
figure
indicates
the eternal dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The emphatically factual experience of
dark and light
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
In this work Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A perpetually evolving evanescence, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always the same, is sometimes in a different form by the essential fact of the onlooker. ``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] |
