| Description: |
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the sketch,
suggesting
unreliability.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdummering,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always constant,
is always transformed
by the perception
of the environment.
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 piece
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
A particularly contentious aspect of the work is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch
march across
the
foreground
of this carving.
``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] |
