| Description: |
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of surrealism
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
``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] |
