| Description: |
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
inconstancy.
This painting is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
form and space
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
In this drawing Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
colour and space.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
environment...
This sculpture is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strongly
stretched
downward
flying
articulations
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the prototype
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
