Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An interesting side of this drawing is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
for
strength
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
unreliability.
