Description: Contrasts of colour and space march across the foreground of the image. It is important to understand that the major feature of surrealism is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude. An interesting side of this particular image is that it is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion.

This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the relationship of the viewer to the piece is the sensuality of intoxification.

``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.''
