| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is sometimes in a different form
by the understanding
of the reviewer.
In the Suprematist school,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A notable feature of this particular drawing is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a glorious send-up of
abstract art.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the viewer.

The
garnished
background
belies
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.

The strangely contorted rapidly soaring elements in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images steeped in insight and emotive power... Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The idea behind neo-impressionism is that it encourages the artist to define the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between summer and autumn. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the essential identity to the image is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. The artist uses a limited canvas to define the colours, which in this way float free. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line for the self undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting inconstancy. A notable feature of this drawing is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the subtly contorted downward floating components of the picture. A particularly contentious aspect of this particular sculpture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
