Pretentious Yet Pointless
It is important to understand that the major feature of surrealism is that it encourages the viewer to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight.
This drawing is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the gently curved downward flying articulations where the relationship of the viewer to the piece is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. The artist employs traditional proportions to contain the colours, which therefore stand alone. Such forms, delicately modulated, create a strong interplay of forces. The essence of surrealism is that it enables the viewer to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude.
