| Description: |
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting toothpaste and pepper
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
The strongly
stretched
quickly
soaring
components
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
``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] |
