| Description: |
A deep underlying meaning of this piece is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
shapes
where the relationship of the spectator to the painting
is
a reflection of the process of creation.
