| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always the same,
is often in a different form
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of slender lissome curves.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
colour and space...
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting summer and winter
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the painting
is
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
An important part of the image is that it is a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste feelings.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
