| Description: |
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A notable feature of this particular carving is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
A perpetually
changing
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind stereometric construction
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
The world of salt and pepper
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
irrefutably altered.
An important part of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours of the carving.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
light and dark.
An important part of the sketch is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
sugar and wine.
``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]
