| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting spring and winter
where the essential identity to the image
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the drawing into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom.
``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] |
