Pretentious Yet Pointless
The endless curves are forever engraved in a glorious send-up of the Suprematist theory. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the carving into the world of graceful lissome curves. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Contrasts of red wine and salt emphasise the expanse of the work.
An interesting aspect of this sketch is the arena of contrasting colour and space contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.

The artist avoids a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own making.

A constantly evolving glammerdummering, the scale and openness of which is always the same, is often entirely altered by the perception of the viewer. The artist avoids traditional proportions to define the colours, which in this way stand alone. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the sketch into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship. The arena of contrasting colour and space in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
