This page contains a selection of quotes and comments from some of Cyril's better known fans.
"I was always fond of Cyril due, not only for his
creative ideas encompassed within the work he was carrying out in the
refurbishment of furniture design in the early 1970's, but also for Cyril's
profound interest in new ideas, and the furtherance of youngsters becoming
involved in the creative elements. I believe that we had a bond simply because
we were both encompassed within the confines of creation, appertaining to our
separate professions. Music and design go hand in hand. Our shared interest was (and still is) the wonderful
master paintings, and I was so excited to see a photograph of a master that Cyril
housed in his loft at home. To this day, I still believe that the artist was
Vermeer, but I never had the chance unfortunately, to view this masterpiece in
person. Meeting Cyril was a wonderful experience, and I wish
him good health and happiness, with many more years to come."
Les Reed OBE, Songwriter, Musician and Orchestra Leader
"I love Cyril Parfitt's work. Problem solvers see the world from a different aspect
than others do.
I
enjoy
Cyril's world: paint and sculpture, mathematics and
solutions. His vision is his work. How beautiful must be his mind that
at 96, he inhabits it still with pleasure and wonderment, satisfaction
and expertise. Salutations and good fortune, LIVE LONG & PROSPER--Spock STAR TREK!" Angie Bowie, Model, Actress, Musician, Poet and Writer
"The work of Cyril Parfitt was introduced to me by a family member many
years ago. Although I have long been a lover of fantasy art, I am not a
fanatical collector: Cyril is one of only two artists ever to appear on
my study walls (the other being Rodney Matthews). He has a unique
vision and a gift for magical landscape that grabs your attention and
doesn't let go. I don't doubt that it would be possible to construct an
entire novel on at least one of Cyril's pieces: instant inspiration!"
"This website is a fantastic tribute to such an illustrious artist, bringing Cyril back
to public
attention and I hope that it serves to show more and more
people his amazing artwork as time goes on."
Daniel Hillman, Saxophone, Freshly Squeezed
"This kind of fine art is not seen often. We hope Mr Parfitt will makeit to Singapore for our next Biennial or Arts Fest. Stunning!"Karen Hoisington, Datum Branding, Singapore
"Cyril Parfitt is an amzaing 90 something artist whose continuous creativity knows no limits!"
Peter Cook, Managing Director, The Academy of Rock
