About the Item

Abstract Expressionist Painting by Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield (British, b. 1978) entitled “Erupting Light”. Original Acrylic on Canvas. Art measures 16 x 20 inches Unframed A captivating work from Angela Wakefield, one of Britain’s leading contemporary urban and abstract artists. “Erupting Light” is a masterclass in emotive abstraction—an exploration of colour, movement, and inner intensity. With luminous reds, golden ochres, and deep cerulean blues, Wakefield conjures a sense of both chaos and clarity, suggestive of transformation and emergence. This piece commands attention. The dynamic composition and gestural brushwork create a visceral energy that resonates deeply with the viewer. Echoes of form flicker through the abstraction, inviting a personal, introspective dialogue. It’s both powerful and poetic—ideal for collectors seeking a statement piece that bridges emotional impact with aesthetic sophistication. Angela Wakefield’s work is held in private collections worldwide and has been exhibited extensively across the UK and United States. She continues to garner attention for her fearless approach and distinctive voice within the canon of contemporary British art. Signed lower right. 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 of the canvas, signed on rear. Framed in the highest quality hand-finished contemporary off-white moulding.
