Pretentious Yet Pointless
The here and now experience of form and space of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but entirely altered. The figured ground enriches in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The beribboned canvas enriches a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our spirituality.
The garnished ground belies a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising power and authority undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability. Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces. Contrasts of night and day march across the broad scope of this doodle. The never-ending curves are forever engraved in a glorious send-up of celebration. The ornamented ground enriches the essential difference between pattern and texture. The endless curves are intertwined in a parody of misery. The artist employs a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own choosing. It is important to understand that the major feature of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of space, rather than mass. In this work Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between colour and space.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
