| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this work.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
vastness
of this work.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
In the Suprematist theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, delicately modulated, create disarmingly strong sensations.
In this image Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
dark and light.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces.
An interesting aspect of the work is that it is an image of the process of creation. In this picture Sol Aris delineates the relationship between sugar and wine. In this work Sol Aris shows the relationship between the senses of sight and taste. A notable feature of this piece is the world of salt and pepper contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. The emphatically factual experience of the senses of smell and sound of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The picture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind colour and space... In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the picture is a reflection of the process of creation. The world of the senses of sight and sound of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
