| Description: |
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The world of the dualistic essense of unreality and rolling sand in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
The arena of contrasting salt and pepper in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... The embellished canvas indicates in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. Contrasts of colour and space emphasise the vastness of this sculpture. ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
