| Description: |
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often in a different form
by the perception
of the viewer.
The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and taste in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
