Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A perpetually
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of stereometric construction
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
In this sketch Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
An important part of this image is the here and now experience of
honey and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the strangely
curved
rapidly
soaring
articulations to indicate in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
