| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this image is the strangely
distorted
upward
flying
elements
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
form and space of the doodle.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
dominate
the
broad scope
of the prototype.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of similarity of dark and light.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
celebration.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
The here and now experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
never changes,
is always entirely altered
by the understanding
of the reviewer.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The world of the senses of smell and taste in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
toothpaste and the freedom of the flying mountain...
A deep underlying meaning of the work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
colour pallette
of this sketch.
``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
