Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
The shapes in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
slender sinuous curvilinear forms...
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
happiness and honey...
Contrasts of the senses of smell and sound
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this painting.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
misery.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
post-impressionistic art.
