Note: Dominic Fels was an 'outsider' artist influenced by surrealism and the occult. He first lived in Epsom before moving to Bridgwater in Somerset during the 1950s. A friendship with the renowned English surrealist Ithell Colquhoun influenced his artistic direction. He died from the effects of alcoholism in 1974.
A fine early work showing the influence of Sutherland and neo-romantic movement.
