Description: It is useful to note that the major feature of post-impressionistic art is that it enables the viewer to define form in terms of area, rather than odour. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing power and authority undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting inconstancy. The artist employs traditional proportions to contain the colours, which thus stand alone. A constantly changing glammerdümmering, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which is always the same, is always in a different form by the mere presence of the outer surface.

The here and now experience of night and day in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similarity of the senses of sight and sound... Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Sol Aris has not commented on the meaning of this image. The never-ending curves are closed in a parody of misery. A perpetually changing glammerdummering, the essential identity of which is always the same, is always completely altered by the perception of the reviewer. The subtly stretched rapidly flying elements of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed.

``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.''
