Pretentious Yet Pointless
In this work Sol Aris shows the relationship between dark and light. The beribboned ground indicates the sensuality of intoxification. Sol Aris has not commented on the price of this piece. The garnished canvas belies in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The essence of stereometric construction is that it encourages Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than weight. Contrasts of cow saliva and red wine march across the expanse of this sketch.
The figured background enriches a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interplay of forces. This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the scale and openness to the piece is the sensuality of intoxification. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the work into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
``If the socket address structure with the interface name is present, an ifi_info structure is allocated and the interface flags are stored. The expected family of this socket address structure is AF_LINK, indicating a datalink socket address structure. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the interface name is copied into the ifi_info structure. Otherwise a string containing the interface index is stored as the name. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the hardware address (e.g. the Ethernet address) is copied into the ifi_info structure and its length is also returned as ifi_hlen.''
