Pretentious Yet Pointless
In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. It is useful to note that the essence of abstract art is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. An interesting aspect of this painting is the world of light and shade contrasting strongly with the here and now experience of form and space so clearly visible. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the here and now experience of size and perception where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self. A constantly evolving evanescence, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is always in a different form by the mere presence of the environment.
In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between salt and pepper. Contrasts of the dualistic essense of unreality and dog hair dominate the vastness of this image. The world of bare hands and the dualistic essense of unreality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but irrefutably altered.
