| Description: |
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which therefore
float free.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
A temporally
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
