| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
A notable feature of the doodle is that it is a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
The artist does not use a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which can by this means float free. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
