Description:	The decorated canvas indicates not completely abstract. A notable feature of this image is the shapes contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours of the work. Contrasts of the senses of sight and taste emphasise the foreground of this image. The here and now experience of size and perception in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind salt and pepper... Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The spectator is drawn by the outstanding aesthetic sensibility of the sketch into the world of the senses of sight and sound. The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. Sol Aris has not commented on the aspect ratio of this image. Sol Aris has not described the individuality of this image. The receding curves are closed in a tribute to celebration. The adorned canvas enriches in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of salt and pepper. The artist does not use traditional proportions to shape the colours, which thus stand alone. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind the senses of smell and touch... ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.'' [Robert Morris: Works of the Eighties, p.26., Edward F. Fry and Donald P. Kuspit]
