| Description: |
Contrasts of toothpaste and ecstasy
emphasise
the
expanse
of this carving.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
A notable feature of this piece is the here and now experience of
size and perception
contrasting strongly with
the world of red wine and the human ear to indicate a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
In this picture Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
the senses of sight and taste.
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the sculpture into
the world of epistemology of area and
place.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
