Pretentious Yet Pointless
The shapes in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and poverty... Sol Aris has not completed the title of this sculpture. The major feature of surrealism is that it encourages the viewer to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. Sol Aris has not supplied the price of this doodle. In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. Sol Aris has not completed the title of this work. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and hardship... The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of images steeped in insight and emotion. Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations.
An interesting aspect of this drawing is the world of colour and space contrasting strongly with the shapes so clearly visible. A central underlying meaning of this particular piece is that it is a reflection of the process of creation. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the image into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty. An interesting side of this particular work is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The garnished canvas indicates the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The embellished canvas indicates a reflection of the artist's soul.
