| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the prototype into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the painting into
the world of epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting salt and unshod feet
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images strong
in meaning and emotion...
A temporally
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is often irrefutably altered
by the mere presence
of the outer surface.
Such forms, serene and majestic, create a strong interplay of forces.
Unexpectedly, we see the diagonal axis representing power and authority curve back and forth, 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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
