Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this doodle is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting dark and light to indicate a reflection of the process of creation.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of the senses of smell and sound.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of post-impressionistic art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
misery.
Such forms, delicately modulated, create strong gestalt sensations.
The world of the senses of smell and sight
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
