| Description: |
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which thus
float free.
An interesting side of the sculpture is that it is a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
A particularly contentious aspect of this sculpture is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the world of dark and light to indicate the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which thus
float free.
It is important to understand that the
essence of surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
Sol Aris has not completed the
price

``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
