| Description: |
The arena of contrasting brightness and dark
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
unrecognizably altered.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
here and now experience of
form and space
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
In this work Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
``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] |
