| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
float free.
The
embellished
figure
belies
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the carving,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
never-ending
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
stereometric construction.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
title
of this image.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
gently
curved
upward
soaring
articulations
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
``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] |
