Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
A deep underlying meaning of the drawing is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
emptiness
of the piece.
An important part of this work is the world of summer and autumn
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the work.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is sometimes unrecognizably altered
by the perception
of the reviewer.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the viewer to the sketch
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind stereometric construction
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
