Description:	Contrasts of the senses of smell and sound emphasise the emptiness of the prototype. The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Such forms, intensely variegated, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. Semiotically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the piece, suggesting inconstancy. This striking piece is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the sketch is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. Sol Aris has not completed the price of this image. Sol Aris has not supplied the price of this image. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. A notable feature of this particular picture is that it is the sensuality of extinction. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but entirely altered. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the doodle into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990]
