Pretentious Yet Pointless
Such forms, serene and majestic, create strong gestalt sensations. An interesting aspect of this painting is the arena of contrasting bare feet and red wine contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but irrefutably altered. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. An interesting side of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the shapes of the prototype.
A constantly evolving glammerdümmering, the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of which never changes, is sometimes completely altered by the mere presence of the environment.
A temporally evolving evanescence, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is always in a different form by the essential fact of the viewer.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
