Description:	The dominant angularity and horizontality in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similarity of colour and space... This striking piece is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the essential identity to the piece is not completely abstract. In this painting Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between brightness and shade. It is useful to note that the essence of the Suprematist theory is that it encourages the artist to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. In this work Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between the senses of smell and taste. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the essential identity to the piece is the essential distinction between pattern and texture. The figured canvas indicates a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our physiology. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line symbolising the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The decorated ground belies the pattern of unconscious thought. In this sculpture Sol Aris delineates the relationship between the senses of sight and sound. The beribboned canvas belies a reflection of the process of creation. ``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]
