| Description: |
This sculpture is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strongly
curved
quickly
reaching
components
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images strong
in insight and association...
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural icons... ``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
