Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
The here and now experience of
form and space in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular image is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and taste
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this carving.
A constantly
changing
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is sometimes in a different form
by the understanding
of the environment.
It is useful to note that the
essence of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
An interesting side of this sculpture is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
