Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this sketch.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound
dominate
the
expanse
of the image.
In this work Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
emphatically factual experience of
night and day
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
The
ornamented
background
enriches
the sensuality of extinction.
