| Description: |
The
figured
ground
indicates
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
