| Description: |
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of spring and autumn
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the work.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
In this drawing Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
night and day.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
