Description: This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the world of salt and pepper where the relationship of the spectator to the sketch is the pattern of unconscious thought. The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the image into the world of contrast of night and day.

``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162]
