| Description: |
Contrasts of dark and light
emphasise
the
vastness
of the image.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
gently
curved
quickly
soaring
components
where the relationship of the spectator to the picture
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The world of sugar and wine in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
It is useful to note that the
essence of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
Semiotically, we see the leading centralism representing power and authority undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting inconstancy. Such forms, intensely variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. The writhing curves are enjoined in a homage to celebration. Contrasts of lager and red wine march across the vastness of this work. ``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] |
