Description: The layers of approaching curves are intertwined in a tribute to constructive colour theory. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The writhing curves are intertwined in a tribute to the Suprematist theory. Such forms, both serene and poetic, create a strong interplay of forces. This image is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the essential identity to the piece is the essential difference between pattern and texture. Such forms, serene and tranquil, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. Semiotically, we see the leading centralism symbolising the self undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting unreliability. Sol Aris has not commented on the meaning of this work.

In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. Sol Aris has not described the colour pallette of this image.

Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. A perpetually evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which remains unchanged, is often transformed by the mere presence of the onlooker. The endless curves are closed in a homage to constructive colour theory. Sol Aris has not commented on the aspect ratio of this sketch.

``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
