Pretentious Yet Pointless
The receding curves are enjoined in a glorious send-up of celebration. Sol Aris has not supplied the colour pallette of this prototype. Sol Aris has not supplied the aspect ratio of this image. The shapes of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. The layers of approaching curves are closed in a tribute to misery.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.''
