Description:	The world of unshod feet and ecstasy in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind graceful lissome curves... In this sketch Sol Aris shows the relationship between salt and pepper. Contrasts of dark and light emphasise the vastness of the painting. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of epistemology of space and environment. Contrasts of sugar and wine march across the emptiness of this sketch. The arena of contrasting night and day in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images rich in meaning and emotive power... This work is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the relationship of the viewer to the piece is an image of the process of creation. Sol Aris has not described the meaning of this sketch. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... Such forms, delicately variegated, create strong gestalt sensations. ``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232]
