Comments about Agrafiotis’ Work:
Evocations of Sea and Sky: “The new oceans/skies paintings are evocative of something difficult to name. Something soulful, even – a moment of inexpressible longing to merge with the cosmos… Wonderful work.” – JOHN PERRAULT, Poet
Abstracts: “Sumptuous. Lush. I haven’t seen painting this gorgeous in a long time.“ – IVAN KARP, O K Harris Works of Art
River Light: “Handsome pictures descended from an extraordinarily fecund and capacious tradition. They’re clearly accomplished, put together by an artist fully in command of his skills, who knows what he’s doing and how to do it.” – CARL BELZ, Director Emeritus, Rose Art Museum
Iconic Trees: “This work is strong stuff, truly iconic. It’s as if you’ve burned your way through to some other form of light or apprehension.” – BARON WORMSER, Poet Laureate Emeritus, Maine
Interiors: “. . .remarkable as constructions of color and shape . . .numinous presences, both real and supernatural.” – ALISON LURIE, Author. Catalog essay – Pucker Gallery, Boston
Wisteria: “. . .gems that hypnotize . . .they seem like animated versions of states of mind.”
– ANN BEATTIE, Author. Catalog essay – Pucker Gallery, Boston
“Agrafiotis’ art seduces mercilessly, casting an aura that at first intimidates, then beckons…every detail seems to vibrate with meaning.’ Indeed, part of the allure of these paintings is psychological distortion.” – CHUCK KAPELKE, Boston Magazine
“There’s a texture to these pictures, a dripping lushness or sultriness, a jungle density.”
– CARL BELZ, Director Emeritus, Rose Art Museum
