John Lindus Outskirts of Manolates Painting Samos Greece 2004 Signed

Southern Europe, Greece, Samos, John Lindus (British-born, lives in Greece, b. 1951), 2004 CE. “Outskirts of Manolates,” acrylic on canvas, from “The Colors of Greece” series. A hillside landscape at the edge of the village of Manolates on the island of Samos, painted in saturated reds, ochres, and deep greens. Gestural lines define slender trees and clustered buildings, while the terrain is built up in layered fields of color. The loose handling is balanced by strong linear contours. Signed at lower right; titled on verso, with a label giving the title and date. 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. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. Item # 202060
