| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
float free.
The gently
contorted
downward
flying
components
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the doodle,
suggesting
unreliability.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
