Description:	Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces. The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and touch of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but entirely altered. The endless curves are forever engraved in a parody of celebration. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. The artist avoids traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own doing. In this image Sol Aris shows the relationship between night and day. The decorated canvas indicates the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations. An interesting side of this image is the here and now experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible. A particularly contentious aspect of the sketch is that it is the sensuality of extinction. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
