About the Item

Black & Orange Abstract Expressionist Painting by Leading British Urban Artist, Angela Wakefield (b.1978) - entitled "Abstract Nocturne", Alternate Version Art measures 24 x 24 inches This striking composition is a reworking and alternate vision of one of Angela Wakefield’s seminal early abstract expressionist works. Returning to the foundations of her career, Wakefield explores the same subject matter with the confidence of an artist who has since honed her voice over two and a half decades. The painting captures a dramatic urban nocturne, where the glowing intensity of an orange-red sun (or moon) illuminates a brooding sky, contrasted against fleeting architectural forms and streaks of light. Vibrant amber, crimson, and deep green tones ignite the canvas, creating a sense of both turbulence and beauty. The bold brushwork and layered atmosphere reveal Wakefield’s ability to merge expressionist energy with contemporary urban realism, bridging the raw experimentation of her formative years with the refined assurance of her mature style. This piece offers collectors not only a visually captivating artwork, but also a rare insight into Wakefield’s creative evolution. By revisiting and reimagining one of her earliest breakthrough works, she provides an alternate perspective - an artwork that resonates with both historical significance and fresh vitality. • Medium: Acrylic on Canvas • Dimensions: 24 x 24 in (61 x 61 cm) • Period: Early Abstract Expressionist (Revisited, 2020's) • Provenance: Direct from the Studio of the Artist A unique opportunity to acquire a pivotal and experimental work that connects Angela Wakefield’s artistic past with her present vision - ideal for collectors who appreciate both aesthetic power and the depth of an artist’s journey. 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. Her 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 rear. This original artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery.
