| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the work into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
emphasise
the
foreground
of this image.
An interesting side of this drawing is the subtly
distorted
downward
floating
components
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting salt and pepper to indicate a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
celebration.
An important part of this particular work is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similarity of spring and winter...
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
misery.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
strangely
distorted
upward
soaring
articulations
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
A temporally evolving glammerdummering, the essential identity of which never changes, is sometimes in a different form by the perception of the outer surface. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
