Pretentious Yet Pointless
A central underlying meaning of the prototype is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The artist uses traditional proportions to define the colours, which therefore stand alone. Sol Aris has not described the title of this prototype. The artist uses traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which thus float free. The receding curves are enjoined in a tribute to Shaker æsthetics. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting lager and lager where the scale and openness to the sketch is the sensuality of intoxification.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
