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.

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.

CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2012
40 X 30 INCHES
Patches symbolize the destruction and erosion of Cuba.
A ruined country stitched together by patches that blend the society like an old rag pant.
The main buffoonery image depicts the old system, no more speech to play when you only have a broken instrument.
Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964.
He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983.
Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma.
Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas.
