Pretentious Yet Pointless
The artist does not use a limited canvas to shape the colours, which thus float free.
The artist does not use a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such.
A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the shapes contrasting strongly with the shapes to indicate in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. In this sculpture Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between sugar and wine. The endless curves are intertwined in a homage to misery. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
