| Description: |
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sketch into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
surrealism.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The world of the senses of smell and touch of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but transformed. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
