| Description: |
Contrasts of sugar and wine
emphasise
the
broad scope
of the picture.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
world of white wine and salt
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
``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] |
