| Description: |
This painting is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the prototype
is
not completely concrete.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create a strong interaction of forces.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
