Description: A particularly contentious aspect of this painting is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the gently curved upward floating elements to indicate the sensuality of intoxification. Semiotically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability. In this piece Sol Aris shows the relationship between light and dark. An important part of this particular sculpture is that it is in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension.

Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting unreliability. A constantly evolving network, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is always entirely altered by the understanding of the outer surface. The endless curves are intertwined in a glorious send-up of constructive colour theory. The ornamented canvas enriches a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our physiology.

``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.''
