| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly intenste feelings.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. A central underlying meaning of the drawing is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The arena of contrasting white wine and white wine in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... This piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the essential identity to the piece is not completely concrete. The beribboned canvas belies in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which can by this means float free. Contrasts of the human ear and the dualistic essense of unreality march across the broad scope of this work. A perpetually evolving network, the scale and openness of which is always the same, is often transformed by the mere presence of the environment. Contrasts of dark and light march across the emptiness of the image. It is useful to note that the idea behind surrealism is that it encourages the artist to define form in terms of area, rather than odour. In this work Sol Aris shows the relationship between sugar and wine. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. In this sketch Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between sugar and red wine. Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create disarmingly strong sensations. The adorned canvas belies a reflection of the process of creation. A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours of the image. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the essential identity to the piece is the essential contrast between pattern and texture. |
