| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the prototype into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
forever engraved
in a homage to
misery.
In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the essential identity of which is always the same, is always completely altered by the perception of the viewer. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of delicate sinuous curves. The endless curves are intertwined in a tribute to celebration. Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly intenste feelings. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
