| Description: |
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
A particularly contentious aspect of this piece is the gently
curved
rapidly
soaring
components
contrasting strongly with
the world of brightness and shade to indicate a reflection of the artist's soul.
The
beribboned
ground
belies
not completely concrete.
The shapes in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
salt and pepper...
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this sculpture.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
In the Suprematist school,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
``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] |
