About the Item

Abstract Musician in Practice Room Original Painting by Contemporary Artist An extremely rare early work from leading British Contemporary Artist, Angela Wakefield. This colourful & energetic artwork is from an intense body of gestural abstract work that formed the very foundations of her output as a professional artist. Art critics regard these powerful expressive works as forming the blueprint of her unique style, and Angela released this special original for the first time in order to mark her 20th year as a professional painter. Signed, initialled, with full authentication and free secure worldwide delivery. Painted in 1999, Practice Room (Musician with Guitar) is a rare early work by British contemporary artist Angela Wakefield, created at the beginning of her professional journey and revealing the foundations of her distinctive visual language. This striking composition captures the energy of a musician mid rehearsal, translated through fractured planes of colour and angular structure. Rather than describing the figure literally, Wakefield suggests presence through bold geometry, dynamic diagonals, and layered spatial shifts, evoking the sensation of sound, rhythm, and movement within an enclosed interior. A vivid palette of saturated blues, earthy reds, and luminous greens creates dramatic contrast, while the expressive linework and softened edges add atmosphere and tension, giving the painting a cinematic, almost stage-lit quality. The result is both intimate and powerful a work that feels simultaneously architectural and emotional, like a private moment rendered in modernist abstraction. Highly decorative and visually impactful, this piece offers collectors an exceptional opportunity to acquire an early, characterful painting that bridges figurative subject matter with contemporary abstraction a compelling statement work for modern interiors. A rare dated early painting from 1999 Strong geometric structure with modernist edge Bold colour fields that read beautifully in contemporary spaces Figurative energy without being literal Ideal statement piece for a design-led interior Art measures 30 x 40 inches Angela Wakefield is one of Britain's Leading Urban Artists, and 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.
