| Description: |
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A central underlying meaning of this image is the arena of contrasting night and day
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
the dualistic essense of unreality and red wine to indicate the sensuality of extinction.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
price
of this picture.
A notable feature of this doodle is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
An interesting aspect of this piece is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the shapes of the drawing.
In the Suprematist theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
A notable feature of this picture is the emphatically factual experience of
night and day
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always the same,
is always in a different form
by the understanding
of the viewer.
This piece 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 doodle
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
