| Description: |
An important part of this particular work is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The gently
distorted
rapidly
flying
components
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The emphatically factual experience of
colour and space in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
