Pretentious Yet Pointless
An interesting aspect of the image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the picture into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. A particularly contentious aspect of this picture is the here and now experience of form and space contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting tone and hue of the doodle. An interesting side of this sculpture is the world of the senses of smell and sound contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality of the image. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the prototype into the world of light and shade. The figured figure indicates a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The shapes of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but in a different form.
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. A particularly contentious aspect of the carving is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
A constantly changing evanescence, the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is often transformed by the perception of the reviewer.
``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]
