Pretentious Yet Pointless
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... In this piece Sol Aris shows the relationship between brightness and shade. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.
The world of dog hair and toothpaste of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but transformed. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the painting into the world of invaluable cultural relics. Sol Aris has not completed the individuality of this work. A central underlying meaning of the picture is that it is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities.
The ornamented ground belies an image of the process of creation.
The artist avoids traditional proportions to contain the colours, which thus float free.
