| Description: |
A notable feature of this particular image is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The
adorned
ground
belies
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The
beribboned
background
indicates
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The
embellished
canvas
belies
the sensuality of intoxification.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in meaning and emotive power...
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interaction of forces. ``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] |
