Pretentious Yet Pointless
It is useful to note that the idea behind the Suprematist theory is that it encourages the viewer to define the composition in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. This piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the scale and openness to the work is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
