Pretentious Yet Pointless
The figured background belies the sensuality of intoxification. The artist avoids a limited canvas to define the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own choosing. Sol Aris has not supplied the price of this painting. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... The idea behind post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the viewer to understand the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude.
A deep underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is the sensuality of extinction. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. A deep underlying meaning of the picture is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which thus float free. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the image into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
