Pretentious Yet Pointless
This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the scale and openness to the doodle is the sensuality of extinction. Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations.
This sketch is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the here and now experience of night and day where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the sketch is not completely abstract.
A constantly changing network, the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of which is always the same, is sometimes transformed by the mere presence of the reviewer. The gently stretched upward floating components of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism symbolising the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the piece, suggesting unreliability.
In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such.
In this sketch Sol Aris shows the relationship between spring and winter.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
