Pretentious Yet Pointless
The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but transformed. Sol Aris has not described the individuality of this image. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of space and environment...
Contrasts of dark and light march across the foreground of this painting. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but in a different form.
In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The arena of contrasting summer and winter in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between salt and pepper. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind delicate lissome curvilinear forms... Sol Aris has not described the price of this work. A notable feature of this sketch is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality of the work. It is useful to note that the major feature of abstract art is that it encourages the artist to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. The artist does not use traditional proportions to contain the colours, which can by this means stand alone.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The garnished ground belies not completely concrete. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the carving into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.
