| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
essence of the Suprematist school
is that it enables the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
unreliability.
An important part of the drawing is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
