Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
The
adorned
ground
enriches
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A deep underlying meaning of this work is the here and now experience of
salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the world of colour and space so clearly visible.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
misery.
The
endless
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
misery.
