| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
Shaker æsthetics.
In this work Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is often transformed
by the essential fact
of the environment.
``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] |
