| Description: |
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
vastness
of this image.
The
ornamented
canvas
indicates
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces.
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this sculpture.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
title
of this work.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting night and day
where the scale and openness to the sketch
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The world of dark and light
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
The
ornamented
canvas
indicates
not completely abstract.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
celebration.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
The world of colour and space in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
environment...
The
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
In this drawing Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong sensations.
