| Description: |
The
figured
background
indicates
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the perception
of the reviewer.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the painting into the world of the senses of sight and sound. The decorated figure belies an image of the process of creation. The world of lager and salt in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural relics... ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.'' [Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit] |
