Description: This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the arena of contrasting salt and pepper where the relationship of the spectator to the work is a reflection of the artist's soul. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the sculpture into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings. The adorned figure enriches a reflection of the artist's soul.

``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
