Reviews for Sotiris Sotiriou:
|
|
|
(His) work is lively , bold, mostly large and very adventurous. Major works and minor delights.
...this experimentation and enthusiasm is far better than boring, even, filling-ins balancing the life out of the canvas.
The paintings rightly show (his) international preferences - Gorki, de Kooning, artists who teach at Thessaloniki and even Bernard Buffet.
(The Cyprus Weekly, May 12-18, 2000)
