"Achepohl's overall richness of form, of texture, his incessant movement among the shapes and media could suggest that action alone is what is expressing itself. This is the work of one visceral impulse following another; that his brush is keeping up with music - most likely Verdi - that is also apt to be playing... as the gardener in this painter reminds us, nature is full of invention that no painter can match."
