Pretentious Yet Pointless
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. It is useful to note that the major feature of stereometric construction is that it encourages the artist to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. A central underlying meaning of this piece is the shapes contrasting strongly with the here and now experience of form and space so clearly visible. The decorated background belies a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self. This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the shapes where the essential identity to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. A temporally changing evanescence, the essential identity of which is always the same, is always transformed by the perception of the viewer. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a parody of misery. A constantly evolving evanescence, the relationship of the viewer of which never changes, is always unrecognizably altered by the essential fact of the reviewer. A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and touch to indicate the essential distinction between pattern and texture. Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations.
