| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
A central underlying meaning of this work is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the shapes of the sketch.
The world of salt and pepper
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind abstract art
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
garnished
figure
indicates
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful sinuous curves...
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
The picture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Sol Aris has not described the
price
of this picture.
Contrasts of dark and light
march across
the
expanse
of the sketch.
Such forms, delicately modulated, create a strong interplay of forces.
A notable feature of the work is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the drawing
is
an image of the process of creation.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
