| Description: |
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the painting into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Such forms, delicately variegated, create strong gestalt sensations.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
