| Description: |
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
misery.
It is important to understand that the
essence of abstract art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In this piece Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
night and day.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create disarmingly strong sensations.
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always constant,
is always in a different form
by the perception
of the environment.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the doodle,
suggesting
unreliability.
``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] |
