Pretentious Yet Pointless
The shapes in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural relics...
Sol Aris has not commented on the colour pallette of this image. The decorated figure belies in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. A perpetually evolving glammerdummering, the essential identity of which remains unchanged, is always in a different form by the essential fact of the onlooker. In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between salt and pepper. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between happiness and red wine. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a glorious send-up of celebration.
The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the viewer to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than odour. A central underlying meaning of the doodle is that it is a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our physiology. An important part of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and touch so clearly visible. It is important to understand that the major feature of abstract art is that it encourages Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own making.
The garnished canvas indicates the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interplay of forces. Sol Aris has not commented on the meaning of this work. An interesting aspect of the work is that it is not completely concrete. The embellished figure belies not completely abstract.
Sol Aris has not commented on the price of this doodle.
``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''
