Pretentious Yet Pointless
In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The arena of contrasting donkey saliva and white wine of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form.
``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]
