Pretentious Yet Pointless
Contrasts of summer and winter march across the broad scope of this prototype. Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound emphasise the expanse of this painting. A particularly contentious aspect of this drawing is the strongly stretched upward reaching components contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of size and perception so clearly visible. This picture is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the strangely distorted downward flying components where the relationship of the spectator to the work is the pattern of unconscious thought.
This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the gently distorted downward flying articulations where the essential identity to the image is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
``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]
