| Description: |
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The strangely
contorted
upward
reaching
elements
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
neo-impressionism.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
beribboned
figure
belies
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
Sol Aris has not described the
price
of this work.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
