| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
It is important to understand that the
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The
beribboned
canvas
belies
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
A deep underlying meaning of the work is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
