| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
In this work Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
The
garnished
canvas
indicates
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The
writhing
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
misery.
A deep underlying meaning of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the world of sugar and wine to indicate a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our psychology.
The
idea behind stereometric construction
is that it enables the viewer
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
