Pretentious Yet Pointless
It is important to understand that the major feature of Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of space, rather than mass. Contrasts of summer and winter march across the emptiness of this image. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly intenste sensations. The figured background indicates the sensuality of intoxification.

The artist employs traditional proportions to define the colours, which in this way stand alone. The receding curves are closed in a parody of abstract art. Contrasts of colour and space dominate the foreground of the painting. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An interesting side of this particular painting is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. The receding curves are intertwined in a homage to misery.
