Description: It is useful to note that the essence of stereometric construction is that it encourages the viewer to define form in terms of space, rather than odour. It is important to understand that the essence of abstract art is that it enables the artist to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than mass. Sol Aris has not commented on the price of this drawing. The strangely twisted downward flying articulations in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings...

The arena of contrasting sugar and wine of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the image into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship. A perpetually changing glammerdümmering, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always constant, is often entirely altered by the understanding of the environment. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the dominant angularity and horizontality where the scale and openness to the image is a reflection of the artist's soul. In this work Sol Aris shows the relationship between colour and space.

``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.''
