Pretentious Yet Pointless
A central underlying meaning of the image is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. Sol Aris has not supplied the price of this work. A deep underlying meaning of this picture is the emphatically factual experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the gently twisted quickly reaching elements so clearly visible.
The artist avoids traditional proportions to contain the colours, which therefore float free. Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create a strong interaction of forces. The decorated ground indicates not completely abstract. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line for the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The artist uses a rectangular grid to define the colours, which can by this means float free. An important part of the image is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
