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

| Description: |
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the picture into
the world of images strong
in insight and association.
The
embellished
figure
enriches
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
