Pretentious Yet Pointless
The here and now experience of size and perception of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed. The artist avoids traditional proportions to define the colours, which thus subsist in a world of their own making. A constantly evolving evanescence, the essential identity of which never changes, is often transformed by the mere presence of the environment. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the doodle into the world of images strong in meaning and association. A deep underlying meaning of this work is the here and now experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of size and perception so clearly visible. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. In this image Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between the senses of smell and taste. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the work into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist employs traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way float free. This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the arena of contrasting night and day where the relationship of the viewer to the image is the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities.
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such.
