| Description: |
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
white wine and lager.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which thus
float free.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
