| Description: |
The arena of contrasting summer and winter
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
A deep underlying meaning of the sketch is that it is the spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
An interesting side of the carving is that it is a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. A perpetually evolving glammerdümmering, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is sometimes unrecognizably altered by the understanding of the outer surface. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
