| Description: |
The
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
An important part of the image is that it is the eternal dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of the senses of sight and touch.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The world of honey and pepper
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
A particularly contentious aspect of this doodle is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
