Pretentious Yet Pointless
In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``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]
