Description: A constantly changing glammerdümmering, the scale and openness of which is always constant, is sometimes entirely altered by the understanding of the reviewer. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to contain the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own making. The essence of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages the artist to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than mass. The major feature of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages Sol Aris to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind contrast of brightness and dark...

The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the image into the world of night and day.

This image is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self.

The essence of neo-impressionism is that it enables the artist to define form in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. The endless curves are enjoined in a glorious send-up of the Suprematist theory. Semiotically, we see the leading centralism symbolising the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such.

``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.''
