Pretentious Yet Pointless
It is important to understand that the idea behind surrealism is that it encourages the artist to define the composition in terms of area, rather than weight. Semiotically, we see the diagonal axis representing power and authority undulate towards the centre of the sketch, suggesting inconstancy. The receding curves are intertwined in a homage to misery. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but entirely altered. A particularly contentious aspect of this sculpture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting salt and salt to indicate the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities. Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch march across the emptiness of this piece.
The artist employs traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which thus float free. A notable feature of this carving is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the here and now experience of size and perception so clearly visible.
A temporally evolving glammerdummering, the scale and openness of which is always constant, is always in a different form by the perception of the environment. In this work Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between night and day.
It is important to understand that the major feature of abstract art is that it encourages the viewer to understand form in terms of space, rather than weight. Such forms, serene and majestic, create strong gestalt sensations.
