| Description: |
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own making.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
unreliability.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The decorated ground enriches a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion. Sol Aris has not commented on the title of this sculpture. This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the world of colour and space where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is an image of the process of creation. |
