John Lindus (British-born living in Greece, b. 1951). "Outskirts of Manolates" acrylic on canvas, 2004. Part of "The Colors of Greece" series. Signed at lower right and titled on verso. Label with date and title on verso. A vivid and atmospheric landscape unfolds in saturated reds, ochres, and deep greens, capturing the sunlit outskirts of Manolates on the isle of Samos with expressive immediacy. Bold, gestural lines define slender trees and clustered architecture, while the terrain dissolves into layered color fields that suggest heat, distance, and memory rather than strict topography. The composition carries a painterly looseness, balanced by strong linear contours that anchor the scene and guide the eye across the hillside settlement. Size: 23.5" W x 23.5" H (59.7 cm x 59.7 cm)
Executed as part of Lindus's "The Colors of Greece" series, the work reflects the artist's long immersion in the Greek landscape following his relocation from England in the mid-1990s. His palette leans into the emotional resonance of place - terracotta reds and shadowed blacks evoke both the physical earth and the intensity of Mediterranean light, while softer bands of sky hover above in muted harmony. The result is a personal and interpretive vision of Manolates, where architecture, vegetation, and atmosphere merge into a single, vibrant impression of life on Samos.
