Pretentious Yet Pointless
The embellished ground enriches the essential difference between pattern and texture. The layers of approaching curves are forever engraved in a parody of misery. The arena of contrasting salt and pepper of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but completely altered. Such forms, serene and tranquil, create a strong interaction of forces. It is important to understand that the essence of stereometric construction is that it enables the artist to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight.
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
[Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit]
