| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
It is useful to note that the
essence of surrealism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
In this carving Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
brightness and dark.
A notable feature of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate the sensuality of intoxification.
An interesting aspect of the doodle is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``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] |
