| Description: |
Such forms, intensely variegated, create a strong interaction of forces.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of the dualistic essense of unreality and toothpaste
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
``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] |
