Pretentious Yet Pointless
This picture is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the shapes where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the work is the sensuality of intoxification.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232]
