Pretentious Yet Pointless
This sketch is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the world of night and day where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. Contrasts of the senses of smell and sight march across the emptiness of this image. The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
