| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
In this painting Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the child's knee and honey.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the piece into
the world of similitude of salt and pepper.
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strongly
curved
upward
flying
articulations
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
vastness
of this prototype.
The artist employs a rectangular grid to restrict the colours, which therefore stand alone. An interesting aspect of this particular piece is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. A particularly contentious aspect of this particular image is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the painting into the world of similarity of the senses of sight and touch. The emphatically factual experience of size and perception of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but transformed. |
