Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
The strangely
curved
downward
soaring
components in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
contrast of pepper and red wine...
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
float free.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The strongly
distorted
upward
reaching
articulations
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
