"Locked and Secure! This art work - the name says it all - has been with me for over 25 years. Bought in London 1994 it first rested on a wall of my Chelsea flat for a few years. It followed me back to my hometown Zurich, Switzerland. Guests always notice it at first glance. 'Is this a Lichtenstein?‘ No, it‘s an Azzopardi!‘ 'Wow!‘ I just feel it has become a very part of my homes and life wherever I stayed and whatever wall it hung on. Locked and Secure, indeed! Deborah, thank you so much." Roger Oberholzer

“This eye has been watching me for over 26 years! 🤭 He (and another of your works) caught MY eye back in the mid 90's when I was half my age! His visage has invoked several reactions over the years! He was in my first ever flat.... in NW3. I remember a girlfriend covering him with a towel as she felt he was "watching" her 😆 He then moved to my office in NW6 where he reminded me to keep an eye on the detail!! It was good advice! He has always given me (and lately my Nephew) a great and positive energy! That is determination in his eye, not anger... and we can all learn from that! Especially in these days! Cheers for years of pleasure Deborah! And many years to come for my Nephew and his own.” Russel G.
