artfacts.net Various additional images and information – Raffi Kalenderian
dennishollingsworth.us I met Raffi several months before I saw his work. A mutual friend introduced us and he visited my studio, a good visit. We spoke of Greco's eyes. Watery jellied oysters for G-d. I couldn't find an image of them and I worried a little that my imagination was freelancing too much. I don't remember how we came to this, but later as I got to see his new work at Black Dragon Society, I realized how resonant Greco was with Raffi's paintings (and not lliterally just the eyes, but perhaps the eyes as portals...)
