Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
major feature of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This picture is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting sugar and wine
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the sculpture
is
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our spirituality.
