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

| Description: |
Sol Aris has not commented on the
meaning
of this doodle.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
unreliability.
An important part of this particular work is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the painting into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The
ornamented
canvas
belies
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
