Pretentious Yet Pointless
Semiotically, we see the leading centralism symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. A central underlying meaning of the sketch is that it is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. The artist avoids traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which thus float free. It is important to understand that the essence of surrealism is that it encourages the viewer to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than odour. The writhing curves are closed in a parody of surrealism. A perpetually changing evanescence, the relationship of the viewer of which remains unchanged, is sometimes irrefutably altered by the essential fact of the viewer.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the shapes contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of size and perception of the piece.
In this piece Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between the senses of smell and sight.
An important part of this particular image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The shapes in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similitude of ecstasy and toothpaste...
It is important to understand that the major feature of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables Sol Aris to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the picture is a reflection of the artist's soul. This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the shapes where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the sketch is not completely concrete.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
