| Description: |
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
celebration.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the picture into
the world of night and day.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
