| Description: |
This drawing is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
here and now experience of
form and space
where the relationship of the spectator to the image
is
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
