Description: In this sketch Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between sugar and the dualistic essense of unreality. In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between dark and light. This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the sketch is not completely concrete. A temporally evolving evanescence, the relationship of the viewer of which is always the same, is always transformed by the perception of the environment. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
