Pretentious Yet Pointless
The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The writhing curves are intertwined in a parody of celebration. This striking piece is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our nature. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the picture into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
