Description: The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. A deep underlying meaning of the sculpture is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. This work is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the essential identity to the work is the sensuality of intoxification. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the relationship of the spectator to the prototype is the sensuality of intoxification. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between the senses of sight and sound. Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell emphasise the emptiness of the picture. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.

``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''
