| Description: |
This drawing is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
shapes
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
not completely abstract.
A notable feature of this image is the world of red wine and toothpaste
contrasting strongly with
the shapes of the image.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
