Pretentious Yet Pointless

| Description: |
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which thus
float free.
The gently
twisted
rapidly
soaring
components in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
In this carving Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
colour and space.
Contrasts of spring and winter
dominate
the
vastness
of this doodle.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
foreground
of the piece.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the environment.
