Pretentious Yet Pointless
Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this work. Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The artist avoids a limited canvas to contain the colours, which in this way float free. Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create disarmingly strong sensations. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. A notable feature of the image is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture. A central underlying meaning of this image is the here and now experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Contrasts of colour and space emphasise the broad scope of the drawing. This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the strangely contorted quickly flying components where the essential identity to the doodle is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The gently contorted downward reaching articulations of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but completely altered.
The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the sculpture into the world of similitude of sugar and the joy of the singing mountain. The world of sugar and wine in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind the senses of smell and sound... The strangely stretched upward reaching elements in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... It is useful to note that the idea behind surrealism is that it enables Sol Aris to define the composition in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude.
This picture is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting dark and light where the essential identity to the sketch is the eternal dimension and its limitless possibilities. A deep underlying meaning of this particular image is that it is the sensuality of extinction.
The shapes in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of space and place... The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the sketch into the world of the senses of sight and sound.
