| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this painting is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the subtly
contorted
upward
flying
components to indicate in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
Contrasts of night and day
march across
the
vastness
of the painting.
This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the essential identity to the piece is not completely concrete. Contrasts of night and day emphasise the foreground of the image. The garnished figure belies the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. |
