Pretentious Yet Pointless
The embellished ground belies not completely abstract. A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the scale and openness of which is always constant, is often transformed by the essential fact of the environment. A constantly evolving evanescence, the essential identity of which is always constant, is sometimes entirely altered by the perception of the onlooker. In this picture Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between dark and light. An interesting aspect of this particular image is that it is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion.
In this image Sol Aris shows the relationship between colour and space.
The artist employs a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own making.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.''
