| Description: |
An interesting aspect of the painting is that it is a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sight
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the work
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
It is useful to note that the major feature of neo-impressionism is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between sugar and wine. ``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.''
