| Description: |
In this sculpture Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The arena of contrasting salt and pepper
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
``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] |
