Title: 1960's British Surrealist Oil Painting - 'Meeting' Abstract Study
Medium: Oil on board, unframed
Size: 6 height x 4.5 width
Condition: Good
Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate
Description: This mesmerizing abstract painting, titled "Meeting," features a series of swirling, spiral forms in soft blues, pale yellows, and hints of lavender. The spirals appear to drift across a richly textured background of deep greens, earthy browns, and midnight blues, creating a dreamlike sense of movement and connection. Delicate curving lines of pale yellow and white weave throughout the composition, linking the spirals together and evoking a sense of gathering or convergence.
The artist’s use of flowing brushstrokes and layered textures gives the piece both depth and dynamism, drawing the viewer into a world that feels simultaneously organic and ethereal. "Meeting" is an enchanting and contemplative work, perfect for collectors seeking abstract art with a sense of rhythm, connection, and harmony.
We have been dealing in works of this nature for years, having developed an appreciation for their versatility and timeless appeal.
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!

Elvic Steele
Elvic Steele was British female artist who grew up in the countryside and developed a lifelong passion for nature. She became an experienced biologist and botanist as well as a keen gardener. Her interpretation of plants in her art, the attention to detail reveals the depth of her knowledge of nature. Steele spent all of her adult life teaching in various schools near her home in Essex. In 1946, she was awarded a sabbatical to attend the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End in Suffolk, run by Sir Cedric Morris. It was in Morris' garden at Benton End that she found a great deal of her inspiration and continued studying and painting there until the 1970s. Steele's work was regularly shown at the Colchester Art Society Exhibition and she also had a solo exhibition in 1960 when she was in the Isles of Scilly. On returning to Great Dunmow in Essex in 1963, she took evening classes at the Dunmow Art Group meetings. There, she exhibited in the Art Group's Exhibition and in villages in the district. Whilst living in Royal Leamington Spa (1984-88) she had two solo exhibitions at the Royal Spa Centre and also showed at the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. At this time, she also sent a number of paintings to the Benton End Group Exhibition in Essex.

During his time in Europe Knox digested the various art movements of the moment, including Surrealism, Tachisme, Colour Field and Pop Art. Visiting the great museums, he was particularly interested in Analytic Cubism and Georges Braque’s intimation, rather than description, of object. He also went to Brussels to visit the first major show of American Abstract Expressionism in Europe.
