Pretentious Yet Pointless
The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the piece into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which thus stand alone. Such forms, delicately variegated, create a strong interaction of forces.
A deep underlying meaning of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of size and perception to indicate the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
It is important to understand that the idea behind Shaker æsthetics is that it enables the artist to define the composition in terms of space, rather than weight. In the Suprematist school, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless: the important thing is feeling, as such. A constantly evolving network, the essential identity of which never changes, is always in a different form by the mere presence of the onlooker. In this sketch Sol Aris delineates the relationship between the senses of smell and sight.
The embellished figure indicates a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound dominate the vastness of this sculpture. The receding curves are forever engraved in a glorious send-up of celebration. The writhing curves are enjoined in a glorious send-up of celebration.
