Pretentious Yet Pointless
An interesting aspect of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. The artist avoids a limited canvas to define the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own doing. This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the emphatically factual experience of form and space where the relationship of the viewer to the sketch is the pattern of unconscious thought. Contrasts of sugar and beer march across the broad scope of the image. In this drawing Sol Aris depicts the relationship between night and day.
