About this work

Yannis Bouteas’ *Σύνθεση IV* shows swirling colors on paper, soft edges bleeding together in blues, reds, and yellows. This work is part of his 1980s *Compositions* series, where he lets paint soak into paper, letting shapes form by chance. Some pieces even mix rope or neon lights—unusual materials for painting. The way the paint spreads like watercolors makes each piece feel alive and unpredictable. Bouteas often blends classic techniques with bold, modern touches. Check out more of his work at the Museum of Ethnography.
