Pretentious Yet Pointless
The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed.
The endless curves are intertwined in a homage to the Suprematist works. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of dark and light. Sol Aris has not commented on the individuality of this work. In this doodle Sol Aris shows the relationship between dark and light. A notable feature of this sketch is the shapes contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the work into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which thus float free. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of epistemology of area and place. The writhing curves are enjoined in a homage to misery.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
