Pretentious Yet Pointless
In this prototype Sol Aris depicts the relationship between sugar and wine. Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create a strong interaction of forces. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the image into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
The artist avoids a limited canvas to define the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own choosing. The shapes in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
