Title: 1960's British Surrealist Oil Painting - "UFO"
Medium: Oil on board, unframed
Size: 6 height x 4.75 width
Condition: Good
Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate
Description: “UFO” is a bold and dynamic abstract composition, bursting with vibrant colors and intriguing forms. At its center lies a radiant yellow orb, encircled by fiery orange and red shapes that appear to pulse with energy, as if emitting light. Layers of deep greens, blues, and purples swirl around the focal point, creating a sense of movement and mystery.
The artist’s use of thick, black outlines gives the composition a stained-glass effect, while the textured brushwork and delicate white highlights add dimension and energy. The interplay between warm and cool tones enhances the feeling of contrast and otherworldliness, evoking the idea of an unidentified flying object glowing amidst an abstract cosmic landscape.
Perfect for collectors seeking a mid-century modern piece with both color and intrigue, this work is an arresting display of energy and imagination.
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.

Juanita Guccione's life (June 20, 1904-December 18, 1999) spanned all but four years of the 20th Century. Cubist*, realist, surrealist*, automatist* and abstract strains are all to be found in her work, but by 1970 she was painting works in watercolor and acrylic that no longer included the human figure or the observed world. She was the younger sister of the abstract geometric* artist Irene Rice Pereira. The sisters were born in Chelsea, MA, but spent most of their working lives in Manhattan.
In the early 1930s, Guccione, then painting as Nita Rice, lived for four years among the Ouled Nail...
