| Description: |
Contrasts of spring and winter
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the painting.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind stereometric construction
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The strongly distorted quickly reaching components of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. ``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] |
