Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
In this work Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
rolling sand and beer.
A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the world of summer and winter
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue to indicate not completely concrete.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the drawing,
suggesting
unreliability.
