| Description: |
This striking piece 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 painting
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``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] |
