| Description: |
Sol Aris has not supplied the
aspect ratio
of this sculpture.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The
essence of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
lager and sugar.
The artist does not use traditional proportions to contain the colours, which can by this means stand alone. ``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
