Pretentious Yet Pointless
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. The endless curves are closed in a homage to the Suprematist school. The artist uses a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own doing. In this sculpture Sol Aris delineates the relationship between sugar and wine. The shapes in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images strong in insight and emotion...
The writhing curves are intertwined in a tribute to post-impressionistic art. A particularly contentious aspect of this carving is the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sound contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting sugar and wine so clearly visible. Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly strong sensations. The shapes in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the scale and openness to the piece is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities.
An important part of this work is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the subtly contorted upward floating components of the image. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which can by this means stand alone. Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interaction of forces.
Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism for power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.
Contrasts of dark and light emphasise the emptiness of this painting.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create a strong interplay of forces.
