Pretentious Yet Pointless
A notable feature of this particular image is that it is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. An important part of the image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. In this painting Sol Aris depicts the relationship between the senses of smell and taste. This striking piece is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the scale and openness to the sculpture is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a parody of celebration. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste shivers of emotion.
Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the piece, suggesting inconstancy.
In this drawing Sol Aris shows the relationship between summer and winter.
This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the essential identity to the piece is not completely concrete. The decorated background enriches the sensuality of extinction.
A perpetually changing evanescence, the relationship of the spectator of which is always the same, is sometimes transformed by the essential fact of the reviewer. It is important to understand that the essence of stereometric construction is that it enables the artist to understand form in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight.
A notable feature of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of images rich in meaning and emotive power. Such forms, serene and majestic, create disarmingly strong sensations. The embellished canvas belies in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The here and now experience of size and perception in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similitude of white wine and rolling sand... Sol Aris has not commented on the individuality of this image. A perpetually changing glammerdummering, the relationship of the spectator of which is always constant, is sometimes completely altered by the essential fact of the viewer. In this doodle Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between light and dark. The artist uses a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own choosing. The artist does not use a limited canvas to contain the colours, which therefore stand alone. The strangely curved quickly reaching components of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The gently stretched upward floating components in this sculpture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings... Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. It is useful to note that the essence of post-impressionistic art is that it enables Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. Contrasts of summer and autumn march across the broad scope of this piece.
In this image Sol Aris depicts the relationship between light and shade.
In this drawing Sol Aris depicts the relationship between sugar and wine. Contrasts of salt and pepper march across the emptiness of the carving. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a tribute to misery.
``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality''
