About the Item
Title: 1960's British Surrealist Oil Painting - "Yellow Shine + Red Glow"
Medium: Oil on board, unframed
Size: 6 height x 4 width
Condition: Good
Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate
Description: “Yellow Shine + Red Glow” captures the interplay of color and form through layered organic shapes and bold contrasts. Rich crimson and deep purple hues dominate the central composition, fragmented and outlined with dark, expressive contours that suggest movement and energy. These warm tones are contrasted by vibrant yellows and greens along the edges, which shimmer with a soft, almost translucent quality, creating a glowing effect.
The artist’s use of thick, textured oil paint creates dimension, while intricate pale outlines add a sense of rhythm and balance to the composition. The juxtaposition of red and yellow elements evokes the coexistence of heat and light, with a dynamic tension between warm energy and cooler harmony.
A visually striking piece, this work exudes a powerful vitality, making it an ideal addition for collectors of mid-century modern art or abstract expressionism.
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.

Characters in a Surrealist Landscape
By Lucien Coutaud
Located in London, GB
'Characters in a Surrealist Landscape', oil on canvas, by Lucien Coutaud (1931). A couple entwine with the male character seemingly in grief, the female not returning with a comforting embrace. In the distant landscape a sole character meanders. This painting seems to be a creation of the artist's dreams, perhaps reflecting events in his personal life. It seems there is a relationship problem. In the world of Surrealists, there is a focus on the unconscious mind through Freudian methods of free association, trance-like states or dreams. Some Surrealists practiced psychic 'automatism' which was automatic writing or drawing, turning off the conscious mind and producing streams of words or images directly from the unconscious. In unlocking the unconscious in this way, Surrealism was individually expressed (Ref. 'The Short Story of Art...

Checkmate

Located in Los Angeles, CA
YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS
"CHECKMATE"
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2017
53.25 X 41.5 INCHES
"Checkmate" is that great end-finale, that surprised everyone because you basically were playing or getting ready for a totally different game.
An unexpected move from the governments who always have a "card up their sleeve" to screw you.
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.
