| Description: |
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the essential identity to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
