| Description: |
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This drawing is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
unreliability.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the painting into
the world of epistemology of area and
environment.
A temporally
changing
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes completely altered
by the perception
of the viewer.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of space and
place...
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the sketch,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
