| Description: |
The
embellished
background
belies
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
In this image Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
An important part of this particular image is that it is an image of the process of creation.
A central underlying meaning of this work is the gently
distorted
quickly
soaring
components
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception so clearly visible.
The
decorated
canvas
indicates
the sensuality of intoxification.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
A deep underlying meaning of the painting is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images strong
in meaning and emotive power...
The
ornamented
canvas
enriches
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
A constantly
changing
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes transformed
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always the same,
is often in a different form
by the essential fact
of the environment.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
