Pretentious Yet Pointless
The ornamented ground enriches the essential contrast between pattern and texture. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the piece into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and boredom. The garnished background belies a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self.
Sol Aris has not commented on the title of this prototype. Contrasts of sugar and wine dominate the broad scope of this drawing. Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create a strong interplay of forces. Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings... The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a homage to celebration. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. A deep underlying meaning of this particular doodle is that it is not completely concrete. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but transformed. Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations. A notable feature of this doodle is the shapes contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting tone and hue to indicate in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such.
