Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the sensuality of extinction.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of contrast of the senses of smell and sound.
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
celebration.
