Pretentious Yet Pointless
A constantly changing evanescence, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is sometimes in a different form by the mere presence of the viewer.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular drawing is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. Sol Aris has not described the title of this painting. The artist does not use traditional proportions to contain the colours, which therefore stand alone. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of invaluable cultural icons. A deep underlying meaning of the painting is that it is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea''
