| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
entirely altered.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
adorned
background
indicates
the sensuality of intoxification.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
unreliability.
The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of contrast of the senses of sight and touch. An interesting aspect of this image is the world of spring and winter contrasting strongly with the shapes of the drawing. The carving shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. A perpetually changing network, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which never changes, is often completely altered by the understanding of the viewer. Such forms, serene and majestic, create a strong interplay of forces. The embellished background indicates a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. |
