Description: The adorned figure belies an image of the process of creation. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist avoids a limited canvas to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. A particularly contentious aspect of the carving is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.

A perpetually changing glammerdümmering, the scale and openness of which never changes, is sometimes in a different form by the perception of the environment. The artist employs a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which thus float free.

In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between colour and space. Such forms, both serene and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations.

Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the carving, suggesting unreliability.

The artist does not use traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own making. A constantly evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which never changes, is often completely altered by the understanding of the viewer. The writhing curves are closed in a tribute to the Suprematist vision.

``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114]
