Pretentious Yet Pointless
This sketch is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. Contrasts of the joy of the singing sperm whale and the dualistic essense of unreality emphasise the vastness of the work.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
