| Description: |
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
colour and space.
The
figured
ground
enriches
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Such forms, serene and majestic, create strong gestalt sensations.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A perpetually
evolving
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes transformed
by the understanding
of the viewer.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces. ``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] |
