Pretentious Yet Pointless
Contrasts of white wine and unshod feet emphasise the vastness of the work. The embellished background enriches the pattern of unconscious thought. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. A deep underlying meaning of the image is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The artist employs traditional proportions to define the colours, which in this way float free. The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create disarmingly strong feelings.
Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism for the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
