Description: Sol Aris has not supplied the title of this carving. It is important to understand that the major feature of neo-impressionism is that it encourages the viewer to understand the composition in terms of space, rather than weight. The artist employs traditional proportions to shape the colours, which therefore stand alone. The artist avoids a rectangular grid to restrict the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own making.

This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the shapes where the essential identity to the piece is the sensuality of intoxification. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Semiotically, we see the short vertical line symbolising power and authority undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability.

A deep underlying meaning of this image is the arena of contrasting white wine and bare hands contrasting strongly with the subtly distorted rapidly flying elements of the painting.

``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea''
