Pretentious Yet Pointless
The world of the senses of smell and sight of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but in a different form. The idea behind surrealism is that it encourages Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. A notable feature of this prototype is the gently stretched quickly soaring elements contrasting strongly with the world of the senses of sight and sound of the sculpture. Such forms, intensely variegated, create strong gestalt sensations. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
