| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the doodle,
suggesting
inconstancy.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
irrefutably altered.
The
decorated
background
indicates
not completely abstract.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of slender lissome curves.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images rich
in meaning and association...
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which thus
float free.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own doing.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
An interesting aspect of this doodle is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the drawing into
the world of contrast of sugar and wine.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting red wine and donkey saliva
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The
beribboned
canvas
indicates
an image of the process of creation.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the sketch into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
misery.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between summer and winter. The writhing curves are closed in a glorious send-up of misery. The layers of approaching curves are forever engraved in a parody of celebration. This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the emphatically factual experience of size and perception where the scale and openness to the piece is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our spirituality. The subtly distorted quickly soaring elements in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings... ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
