Description: An extraordinary 1960s oil painting by renowned British surrealist artist Elvic Steele, titled ‘Textured Botanical Landscape with Abstract Foliage’. This captivating work blends surrealism with natural forms, featuring a dreamlike composition of oversized leaves and intricate botanical shapes. Steele’s attention to detail is evident in the black vein-like patterns that run through the foliage, giving each plant a delicate, skeletal appearance, reminiscent of decaying flora or intricate tree branches.
The sky, painted in soft blues and pale whites, contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the textured ground below. Subtle abstract markings across the scene evoke movement and an ethereal atmosphere, as though the plants are alive with whispers of nature's secrets. The layering of greens, browns, and rust-red hues creates depth, drawing the viewer into this otherworldly botanical landscape.
Ideal for collectors of surrealist, mid-century, or nature-inspired art, this piece exemplifies Elvic Steele’s unique ability to merge natural themes with a surrealist aesthetic. A perfect addition to contemporary, modern, or eclectic interiors, this painting would make a striking focal point.
We have been dealing in the works of Elvic Steele since 1998, having become gripped with the artists work when attending her Studio Sale at Christies in London (July 1998).

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.
