| Description: |
An important part of this particular image is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the painting into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom.
In this sketch Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
spring and autumn.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strangely
curved
upward
floating
components
where the relationship of the viewer to the image
is
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The
decorated
background
indicates
not completely abstract.
``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]
