Pretentious Yet Pointless
This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the relationship of the viewer to the piece is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. The never-ending curves are closed in a glorious send-up of misery. The writhing curves are intertwined in a homage to the Suprematist vision. A central underlying meaning of the work is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A constantly evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which is always constant, is often in a different form by the essential fact of the viewer. The here and now experience of size and perception in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and hardship... The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it enables Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude.
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting inconstancy. Semiotically, we see the diagonal axis representing strength undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting unreliability. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. The garnished figure enriches an image of the process of creation. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste shivers of emotion.
