Pretentious Yet Pointless
Sol Aris has not supplied the meaning of this sketch. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is the sensuality of extinction. The artist does not use a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own choosing. Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. A central underlying meaning of this particular drawing is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
The figured ground enriches the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
