Description: The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist does not use traditional proportions to shape the colours, which therefore float free. The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this prototype, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... A temporally evolving glammerdümmering, the relationship of the viewer of which remains unchanged, is always in a different form by the essential fact of the viewer.

``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262]
