| Description: |
An interesting aspect of the sketch is that it is the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
float free.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the carving
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the relationship of the spectator to the sketch
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
