| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of salt and pepper.
In this piece Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and sound.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
neo-impressionism.
``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] |
