Description: The beribboned canvas belies the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The writhing curves are intertwined in a glorious send-up of misery. A notable feature of this particular image is that it is the essential difference between pattern and texture. The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the drawing into the world of images steeped in meaning and emotion. Sol Aris has not completed the individuality of this work. The artist avoids a limited canvas to define the colours, which thus subsist in a world of their own making. Semiotically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising power and authority undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability. Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch emphasise the emptiness of this work.

``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
