Pretentious Yet Pointless
Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interplay of forces. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the carving, suggesting inconstancy.
In this drawing Sol Aris delineates the relationship between the senses of sight and sound. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. In this image Sol Aris shows the relationship between colour and space. Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations. The artist uses a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which can by this means stand alone. A central underlying meaning of this image is the gently curved rapidly floating articulations contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible. This work is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting sugar and wine where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the image is the sensuality of extinction. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images steeped in insight and emotion...
The essence of abstract art is that it enables the viewer to understand form in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create a strong interplay of forces. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but completely altered. A deep underlying meaning of this painting is the world of dark and light contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought. In the Suprematist theory, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
