In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the picture into
the world of summer and autumn.
A deep underlying meaning of the work is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
The shapes in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
slender sinuous curvilinear forms...
The arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sight
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong feelings.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound
march across
the
broad scope
of this sculpture.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
strangely
twisted
upward
reaching
components
where the scale and openness to the drawing
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The shapes in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
contrast of night and day...
The
ornamented
canvas
indicates
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``This painting exemplifies
the collage-like arrangements by which
surrealist painters
brought together apparently unrelated objects
to create a striking visual poetry,
intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
