Pretentious Yet Pointless
The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the sculpture into the world of images strong in insight and emotive power. Sol Aris has not completed the aspect ratio of this sketch. A deep underlying meaning of this particular drawing is that it is an image of the process of creation. Sol Aris has not described the aspect ratio of this work. Sol Aris has not completed the price of this image. The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the sculpture into the world of similarity of dark and light. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The figured ground enriches a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being.
In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
