Pretentious Yet Pointless
The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. An important part of this prototype is the shapes contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and touch of the work. The artist does not use a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which in this way stand alone.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality''
[Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990]
