Pretentious Yet Pointless
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. A particularly contentious aspect of this particular image is that it is the sensuality of extinction. The never-ending curves are closed in a homage to celebration. An interesting side of this particular work is that it is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our physiology. Contrasts of summer and winter emphasise the emptiness of the image.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural relics... Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. In this piece Sol Aris shows the relationship between night and day. Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
Contrasts of colour and space dominate the expanse of the image. The artist uses traditional proportions to contain the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own making. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create a strong interplay of forces. The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a parody of celebration. The garnished figure belies the essential distinction between pattern and texture. Such forms, serene and majestic, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion.
``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.''
