| Description: |
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
celebration.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
An interesting aspect of the prototype is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is a reflection of the artist's soul. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
