A quick jaunt back into my June archive revealed this beauty from Solar on the long wall at Cumberland Basin. I would offer my subjective view and say that Solar’s work this year has risen to the next level, and he is turning out some outstanding work.

Solar’s unusual and anti-style work is perversely becoming quite conventional, simply because he has established himself and made a mark. This is no bad thing, because he retains his identity and developing style. In this wonderfully fragmented piece, the outline is incomplete, and the fills drift way beyond the boundaries. A sense of order is maintained by the pink and magenta decorations that have stuck to the script and frame the piece beautifully. Cool work.
The way you catch how an artist finds their voice and it becomes recognizable without becoming predictable that’s the eye of someone who really sees the work. Those pink and magenta frames holding everything together. Perfect. 💙

I truly like this. It seems alive in a weird way and there’s lots of movement like a dance across the wall.
