Pretentious Yet Pointless
The artist does not use a limited canvas to define the colours, which thus stand alone. The adorned background enriches the essential distinction between pattern and texture. Sol Aris has not supplied the individuality of this work. Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create disarmingly strong feelings. Semiotically, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The never-ending curves are forever engraved in a glorious send-up of celebration. The never-ending curves are closed in a glorious send-up of constructive colour theory. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the piece into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the doodle into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. A particularly contentious aspect of this drawing is the world of the senses of smell and sight contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting tone and hue to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought. The adorned background indicates the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The artist does not use traditional proportions to define the colours, which can by this means stand alone. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
