Description: This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the scale and openness to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. The artist uses a rectangular grid to define the colours, which in this way stand alone.

``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162]
