Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
major feature of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
The gently
curved
rapidly
soaring
components in this carving,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similitude of night and day...
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the carving,
suggesting
unreliability.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
Sol Aris has not described the
aspect ratio
of this sketch.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations.
