| Description: |
Contrasts of brightness and dark
dominate
the
expanse
of the painting.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and sound.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
