Description:	The artist employs a limited canvas to contain the colours, which in this way float free. The arena of contrasting salt and pepper of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing the self undulate towards the centre of the piece, suggesting unreliability. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. This doodle is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the world of ecstasy and white wine where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is an image of the process of creation. An important part of the piece is that it is the sensuality of intoxification. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this painting, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind sugar and unshod feet... Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. An important part of the image is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul. The emphatically factual experience of size and perception in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind deprivations, inhibitions and boredom... The artist avoids a limited canvas to define the colours, which therefore float free. ``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.''
