About the Item

Title: 1960's British Surrealist Oil Painting - "Beginnings" Medium: Oil on board, unframed Size: 3.5 height x 4.5 width Condition: Good Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate Description: "Beginnings" captivates with its organic composition of multicolored circular forms, reminiscent of seeds, planets, or microscopic life emerging into existence. A contrast of bold yellows, oranges, and reds against a deep black background creates a sense of movement, potential, and growth. The circles are textured and layered, giving a dynamic sense of depth and energy. The artist’s use of contrasting outlines—yellow for the brighter forms and burnt orange for the deeper tones—highlights each shape's individuality while maintaining harmony within the composition. The interplay between color and texture invites the viewer to explore themes of origins, cycles, and the beauty found in simplicity. This work radiates a modern, timeless quality, ideal for contemporary spaces or collectors of abstract art. We have been offering similar works from this collection for years, appreciating the artist’s talent for capturing emotion through abstraction. We have several similar size works offered for sale here. In this wonderful size format, they offer tremendous interior design capabilities, perhaps being grouped in sets of 2, 4, 8, or even 12!
