Pretentious Yet Pointless
The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the painting into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings. This work is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the arena of contrasting pepper and donkey saliva where the scale and openness to the piece is the sensuality of intoxification. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of delicate lissome curvilinear forms. Sol Aris has not supplied the meaning of this work. The adorned figure enriches the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities.
