Description: An interesting side of this particular sculpture is that it is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The embellished ground indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. In this painting Sol Aris shows the relationship between the senses of sight and smell. The picture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. An important part of this image is the shapes contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting tone and hue of the image. An important part of the image is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. This work is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the subtly distorted upward flying elements where the scale and openness to the piece is an image of the process of creation.

``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]
