| Description: |
In this piece Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of smell and sight.
The carving shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
The
figured
figure
enriches
the sensuality of intoxification.
The
decorated
ground
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
A particularly contentious aspect of this prototype is the world of the senses of smell and sight
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell so clearly visible.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
