Pretentious Yet Pointless
This piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is the sensuality of extinction.
The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. The viewer is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the sculpture into the world of colour and space.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea''
[Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
