Pretentious Yet Pointless
Contrasts of night and day emphasise the expanse of the sketch. A central underlying meaning of the image is that it is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. The shapes of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but transformed. It is important to understand that the major feature of neo-impressionism is that it enables the viewer to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than weight.
The artist does not use a rectangular grid to define the colours, which can by this means float free. The artist uses a limited canvas to define the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own making. An important part of this particular picture is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. A particularly contentious aspect of this piece is the arena of contrasting dark and light contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. It is useful to note that the essence of surrealism is that it enables the viewer to define the composition in terms of area, rather than odour.
The adorned figure enriches the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. An interesting aspect of this particular work is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
