Angela Wakefield
Woman Smoking at Le Cafe La Nuit in Arles, France by Contemporary British Artist

2012

About the Item

Original Painting of a Woman Smoking at Le Café La Nuit in Arles, France by Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield. Provençal eatery with a charming terrace said to have inspired an 1888 painting by Vincent van Gogh. Part of her European Series published in 2012 (No.16). Art measures 24 x 12 inches Frame measures 29 x 17 inches During 2012, Angela embarked upon her European Series, which initially focuses on the unique diversity of France. As Angela describes, “… it is a challenge for any artist to adapt and evolve their style to tackle a wider range of subjects. This project has enabled me to expand my repertoire as a painter, and reveal previously unseen aspects of my artistic output”. In contrast to the architectural drama of her New York Series, this body of work will see her capture the mood of French villages, the wine-growing regions, and the rural and urban environments of a beautiful country. Having been compared to Edward Hopper in her previous work, the European Series exposes other points of reference, such as Vincent van Gogh, who was a big inspiration for Angela in her formative years. Angela Wakefield has twice been on the front cover of ‘Art of England’ and featured in ARTnews, attracting international attention and critical acclaim with her urban landscape paintings of New York, London & the North of England. The style of painting has been described as ‘Contemporary Realism’, and is often favourably compared with Edward Hopper by collectors and art critics. Angela’s work is held in private collections in Europe and the USA, including the British Royal Family. Her admirers include leading figures in international business, filmmaking and the media. PROVENANCE: Ascot Studios Collection. Initialled on the front, signed on the rear.

  • Gold II - Original Sally K Figurative Artwork
    By Sally K
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Gazing at Lebanese American artist Sally K's floral portrait is consuming and empowering. Inspired by strong, feminine women, she creates pop-realistic paintings that speak to the energetic female experience; one of individuality and inherent strength in femininity. There are endless floral arrangements capping the mysterious visages of beautiful women, capturing attention through a celebration of floral abstraction and wild, fanciful coloration. Lavish in application and luxurious in composition, Sally K.'s work is inspired by pop art, culture, and fashion. This original 10-inch high by 8-inch wide acrylic on canvas board painting is signed on the front and back. It is unframed and requires framing for display. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable U.S. and global shipping also available. Provenance: Artspace Warehouse. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Sally K was born in Ohio following her family’s emigration from Lebanon. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Saudi Arabia, where she stayed until she was 14. Sally attended high school and college in Beirut, where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of Beirut. In 2013, Sally and her family moved back to the United States and she now paints out of her studio in California. The focus of Sally’s portraits is contemporary women. Her style merges characteristics of abstract expressionism with realism and portrait painting to convey not just the beauty of women, but their confidence and strength as well. They are alluring, flirtatious, and demure with an inspiring femininity that Sally describes as the “sensuality, independence, and confidence you see in strong women.” Sally’s portraits of women are intensely personal. “The women I paint are an extension of me, of what I feel, how I process my surroundings, my thoughts, my anger, my pleasure. They’re the confident strong women that I strive to be. Sometimes tough and daring, sometimes shy and reserved, but always self-assured and determined; they represent what captivates me in other women; the qualities I admire, and strengths that I strive to gain.” Sally draws inspiration from photography, pop culture and fashion as well as artists ranging from the pop art of Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock to the gilded florals and figures of Gustav Klimt. Her highly regarded paintings have been featured in group and solo shows in Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA. Notable collectors include Jesse McCartney and Kelly Clarkson.
