Description: The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interaction of forces. In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The emphatically factual experience of brightness and dark of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.

The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this prototype, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind images strong in insight and emotion... The endless curves are closed in a tribute to post-impressionistic art. Such forms, intensely modulated, create strong gestalt sensations. Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound march across the foreground of this work. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of invaluable cultural icons. An important part of this painting is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought.

The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of images rich in meaning and association. The artist uses traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which can by this means stand alone. The beribboned canvas enriches a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind.

Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life.
