Pretentious Yet Pointless
It is important to understand that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages the viewer to define the composition in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude.

| Description: |
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
undulate towards the centre of the doodle,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
figured
background
indicates
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own doing.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
This work is
quintessential 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
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
A notable feature of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting the senses of sight and smell so clearly visible.
It is important to understand that the essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages the viewer to define the composition in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude. |
