| Description: |
This carving is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
world of the senses of smell and taste
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the painting
is
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
``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] |
