Pretentious Yet Pointless
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the gently stretched upward floating components contrasting strongly with the subtly curved rapidly flying elements to indicate a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion.
In this sketch Sol Aris depicts the relationship between spring and autumn.
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. Contrasts of sugar and honey dominate the emptiness of this image. Contrasts of spring and autumn march across the emptiness of the picture. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this carving, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of area and quintessential hereness... The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
