| Description: |
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
vastness
of the doodle.
The here and now experience of
form and space in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
quintessential hereness...
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
an image of the process of creation.
In this piece Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of smell and taste.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
colour pallette
of this painting.
An interesting aspect of this work is the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
A deep underlying meaning of this particular carving is that it is not completely concrete. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
