| Description: |
Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
A particularly contentious aspect of this doodle is the world of the senses of sight and taste
contrasting strongly with
the gently
contorted
rapidly
flying
articulations of the sketch.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
``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] |
