The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
Shaker æsthetics.
The
never-ending
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
misery.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the essential identity to the sketch
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The world of honey and unshod feet
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting the senses of smell and touch in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The
beribboned
figure
belies
the sensuality of intoxification.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular drawing is that it is a reflection of the process of creation.
