| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
A perpetually
changing
network,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is sometimes transformed
by the perception
of the viewer.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
float free.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A temporally
evolving
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is often transformed
by the mere presence
of the onlooker.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
sugar and wine...
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
night and day.
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a homage to
Shaker æsthetics.
The
ornamented
ground
enriches
an image of the process of creation.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create a strong interaction of forces. This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the shapes where the scale and openness to the piece is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interaction of forces. The artist uses traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which can by this means float free. A deep underlying meaning of this picture is the world of brightness and dark contrasting strongly with the subtly contorted quickly reaching components to indicate the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. Contrasts of salt and pepper march across the emptiness of the image. The never-ending curves are forever engraved in a homage to misery. A constantly evolving glammerdummering, the essential identity of which is always constant, is often entirely altered by the perception of the viewer. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and hardship... In this prototype Sol Aris delineates the relationship between night and day. ``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.''
