Pretentious Yet Pointless
The endless curves are enjoined in a homage to stereometric construction.
An interesting aspect of this drawing is the arena of contrasting night and day contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and sound to indicate the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and taste where the essential identity to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... The essence of abstract art is that it encourages the artist to understand form in terms of space, rather than weight. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. An important part of the doodle is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
