Pretentious Yet Pointless
The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the drawing into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line representing the self undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting inconstancy. The carving shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed.
