Description:	The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The strongly contorted upward soaring articulations of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but transformed. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The artist does not use a limited canvas to contain the colours, which therefore float free. Sol Aris has not supplied the meaning of this work. In this drawing Sol Aris shows the relationship between colour and space. The shapes in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural icons... ``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]
