Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
Contrasts of colour and space
emphasise
the
vastness
of the work.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular painting is that it is not completely abstract.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
In this painting Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
night and day.
