Title: 1960's British Surrealist Oil Painting - "Ties of Relationship"
Medium: Oil on board, unframed
Size: 5 height x 3.5 width
Condition: Good
Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate
Description: “Ties of Relationship” captures the complexity and interconnectedness of relationships through its vibrant composition and intricate forms. The painting features dynamic, bulb-like shapes in fiery reds, oranges, and blues, each outlined with soft white, giving a textured, organic feel to the piece. These forms are woven together by delicate yellow lines, evoking threads or bonds that symbolize connection and interdependence.
The background's layered palette of greens, browns, and deep blues lends a natural, almost earthy foundation to the composition, creating a sense of grounded chaos. The artwork reflects the tension and harmony found in relationships, using abstract symbolism to depict both unity and individuality.
This visually compelling piece is a vibrant example of mid-century abstraction, with bold brushwork and deliberate contrasts that would complement a modern interior or contemporary art collection.
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!

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.
