| Description: |
The subtly
distorted
upward
flying
components in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similarity of salt and pepper...
The
embellished
background
enriches
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The world of toothpaste and happiness in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
subtly
contorted
rapidly
reaching
articulations
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
an image of the process of creation.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes in a different form
by the understanding
of the onlooker.
The arena of contrasting salt and pepper in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similarity of dark and light...
Contrasts of salt and pepper
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the work.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similitude of the human foot and sugar...
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the environment.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own doing.
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian
with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
[Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26.,
Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit]
