Pretentious Yet Pointless
Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the sculpture into the world of epistemology of space and environment. Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong sensations. An interesting aspect of this piece is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality of the work. The strangely curved downward reaching elements of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form.
``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]
