| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
colour and space...
The
decorated
figure
belies
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
light and dark.
``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] |
