“When it comes to painting quantities, whether of rooftiles, bricks, cobblestones, tobacco plants, floorboards, sheep, bunches of grapes or people, Giorgos Rigas’ approach blooms into an obsession with statistical values. He is incapable of painting ‘a lot’ – the amount must remain countable. This is a special credo in his artistic creations.”  — Becker, Wolfgang, “Reflections on the Works of Giorgos Rigas” Neue Galerie – Sammlung Ludwig Aachen, 3.11.1988 – 8.1.1989
