| Description: |
In this image Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
beer and lager.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the spectator to the drawing
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising power and authority undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting unreliability. ``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] |
