Pretentious Yet Pointless
The beribboned canvas enriches the pattern of unconscious thought. In this drawing Sol Aris depicts the relationship between honey and cow hair.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.

| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
A deep underlying meaning of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
Semiotically,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
A notable feature of the work is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which in this way
float free.
Contrasts of rolling sand and red wine
dominate
the
foreground
of the image.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
expanse
of this piece.
An important part of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate not completely concrete.
The
adorned
ground
indicates
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The strongly
curved
upward
reaching
articulations
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
