Pretentious Yet Pointless
The garnished ground indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the world of the dualistic essense of unreality and ecstasy contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The garnished background indicates the essential difference between pattern and texture.
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the piece into the world of epistemology of space and environment. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty. Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste feelings. It is important to understand that the major feature of Shaker æsthetics is that it enables Sol Aris to define form in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism for the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting inconstancy. It is important to understand that the idea behind Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the artist to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. Such forms, intensely variegated, create a strong interplay of forces. The garnished background indicates a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. An interesting aspect of this particular image is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Contrasts of the dualistic essense of unreality and red wine march across the foreground of the drawing. A constantly evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which remains unchanged, is always entirely altered by the perception of the reviewer. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the drawing into the world of delicate sinuous curves. A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the shapes of the carving.
The decorated ground belies a reflection of the artist's soul.
