| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this painting.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
emphatically factual experience of
happiness and toothpaste
where the scale and openness to the work
is
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
constructive colour theory.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
The shapes in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The
embellished
figure
belies
not completely abstract.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
stereometric construction.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
