Description: Sol Aris has not commented on the title of this work. A deep underlying meaning of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the shapes to indicate the spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the shapes where the relationship of the spectator to the drawing is the pattern of unconscious thought. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the drawing into the world of delicate lissome curvilinear forms. Sol Aris has not commented on the title of this sculpture. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... The figured background indicates a reflection of the artist's soul. A deep underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the artist to understand form in terms of area, rather than mass. The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.

``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
