Title: British Surrealist Oil Painting - Three Dimensions Abstract Geometric Study
Medium: Oil on board, unframed
Size: 4 height x 6 width
Condition: Good
Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate
Description: This striking 1960s oil painting by Elvic Steele explores the concept of spatial dimensions through an abstract geometric lens. Aptly titled "Three Dimensions," the work features overlapping circular and spiral motifs that give the impression of depth, motion, and interconnected layers of space.
The vivid palette is segmented into bold red, blue, and yellow regions, divided yet unified by dynamic curving lines and translucent rings. These elements work together to create an illusion of movement between planes, suggesting a journey through dimensions or the interplay of time and space. Steele's fascination with form and balance is evident in this carefully orchestrated composition, which draws influence from both surrealism and mid-century modern design.
This captivating piece is perfect for collectors of mid-century geometric abstraction, surrealist studies, or those fascinated by the intersection of art and science. It will make an ideal addition to contemporary spaces, studios, or modern interiors, adding intellectual depth and visual intrigue.
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.
