TRACKING TIME

Tracking Time.  55x50cm mixed media on canson paper.  August full moon Maria Sevastaki Karlovasi Samos 2018 For sale without frame inbox me

After I was diagnosed with vascular disease I started to re discover the riverside of Karlovasi where we d  play smoking free as children  with my brother,  cousins, and friends in the early 70 s.  
This is how Tracking Time in HETERO TOPOS with new dogs  evolved...
and, this is how I discovered the malicious & massive theft vandalism upon the nature in Karlovasi by an envious Vathi Samos municipal pruning and beheading trees at temperatures over 30 c in May  without  permits from the forest department that are responsible for these trees .... 

a petition is moving around 
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/PROS_TON_DIMO_SAMION_SE_PROSOHI_k_DIMARHOY_EPISTOLI_DIAMARTYRIAS_KATOIKON_KARLOVASOY_GIA_TIN_KOPI_DENTRON_STIN_POLI_MA/?copy&utm_source=sharetools&utm_medium=copy&utm_campaign=petition-526049-PROS_TON_DIMO_SAMION_SE_PROSOHI_k_DIMARHOY_EPISTOLI_DIAMARTYRIAS_KATOIKON_KARLOVASOY_GIA_TIN_KOPI_DENTRON_STIN_POLI_MA&utm_term=noHash%2Ben

please sign ...

the municipality replied with a few documents that dont justify the actions against our city.  They claim with a petition of 22 Peoples signatures that have allergies from the ancient medical willow trees and will be replaced them with a foreign species the pacific  Manolias on their expense
A committe within the municipal called 'quality of green life' consisting of tv cultured citizens with no qualifications killed all the herbs, dislocated the bees & stepped upon frogs.  Death everywhere 
but everyone drives here no one walks like I... 

They forwarded no documents from doctors about the type of  allergies they have and with this logic no trees will be standing on Earth ... 

If they prune the trees yearly they could collect the pollen and profit before it falls on the roads.

Eucalyptus trees need regular pruning too ... our city could give work to the unemployed and joy to many as all will benefit. 

RIVERSIDE BLUES 

The artwork is inspired by collective theft & conspiracy by the Samos  authorities  that  burdens disturbs and disrespects the bee community and our city.

Nikos Sellas

Nikos Sellas at Stella Bolonaki s exhibition.  
rip...

I met Nikos during 1985. 
He was a graduate from the polytexneio and an ecologist. 
I had just entered the art school located on the polytechneio grounds then.  

Nikos & I have many things in common.  We are on blood thinners for years.  I over 10yrs Nikos apparently took them all his life ...!!! 
He had gone through some serious heart surgery ... 
I had to dissolve a big embolism from my right lung ...  

With the amounts of alcohol pills and cigarettes we d consume we are lucky to have survived.

With Nikos we shared identical passions about nature justice,  people, and talking full pleasure from  artistic activities.  

The last time I saw him was during May 2015 after an invite from  artist Stella Bolonaki that had introduced Nikos and I ...we  bumped into each other  by chance a few days before  a  meeting about on refugees a friend from Mytiline was addressing ... 

It was like time never stoped for our intellectual stimulation 
what a shame 
what loss 

Nikos absence is unbearable for those that knew him 
also a big loss for Greek politics, humanity and nature ...

Farewell my friend
