Pretentious Yet Pointless
Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis for power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. A deep underlying meaning of this particular piece is that it is an image of the process of creation. The emphatically factual experience of colour and space of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the carving into the world of slender lissome curves. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the prototype into the world of images steeped in insight and association. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the sketch into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. The world of the senses of sight and smell in this painting, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural relics... The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
