Pretentious Yet Pointless
The artist avoids a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which therefore stand alone. A central underlying meaning of this drawing is the world of summer and winter contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours of the prototype. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of delicate sinuous curvilinear forms. This image is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist avoids traditional proportions to shape the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own making.
In this image Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between dark and light. The world of spring and winter of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the painting into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
This sculpture is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the emphatically factual experience of form and space where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought.
