Pretentious Yet Pointless
The world of the senses of smell and sound in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images rich in meaning and association... The endless curves are enjoined in a homage to stereometric construction. Sol Aris has not commented on the meaning of this prototype. Sol Aris has not commented on the colour pallette of this picture. The artist avoids a limited canvas to contain the colours, which thus float free. The writhing curves are closed in a tribute to constructive colour theory. In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. 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 diagonal axis for the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting inconstancy. A notable feature of this particular picture is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
