-------------------------
\"THESE PICTURES CONSTITUTE A VIVID AND RICH DEPICTION OF HIS NATURAL
SURROUNDINGS, NAMELY THE ISLAND OF CORFU, ITS URBAN AND RURAL
LANDSCAPES, ITS BUILDINGS AND ITS NATURE, ITS PEOPLE AND THEIR
ACTIVITIES.\"
'When one faces a photographer's work, one rarely has the
opportunity to speak of a life work that, despite its balanced
artistic virtues embodies valuable information and enriches our
heritage with memories of the past which have faded in the course of
time and have been suppressed in the name of 'progress' by untoward
development. Kokkalis undoubtedly achieves this dual objective through
his pictures, which provide a perspective reaching across 50 years'
experience. These pictures constitute a vivid and rich depiction of
his natural surroundings, namely the island of Corfu, its urban and
rural landscapes, its buildings and its nature, its people and their
activities. Fascinated by the magic of black and white, he wanders
from the romantic mood and the melancholic ambiance of deserted
piazzas, which look as if they posses a purely metaphysical quality,
to the romance of the countryside along with its rich suggestiveness.'
