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

| Description: |
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch
dominate
the
vastness
of the work.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
misery.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
