About the Item

The Shambles in York City England Medieval Street - a rare early work by leading British Contemporary Artist, Angela Wakefield. This colourful & energetic artwork is from an intense body of gestural abstract urban landscape 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. Signed, initialled, with full authentication and free secure worldwide delivery. Art measures 24 x 24 inches Frame measures 36 x 36 inches The Shambles, York Often described as one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the world, The Shambles is the atmospheric heart of York’s historic city centre. Lined with beautifully preserved, timber-framed buildings that lean in above the narrow lane, some dating back to the 14th Century, the street offers a glimpse into the city's medieval past. Originally known as The Great Flesh Shambles, this street was once home to the city’s butchers - and some of the original meat hooks and shelves used to display cuts of meat can still be seen on the building fronts today. Today, The Shambles blends rich history with vibrant modern charm. It's a favourite among visitors for its independent shops, from galleries and gift boutiques to bakeries, bookshops, and artisan eateries. Whether you're shopping for unique souvenirs or simply strolling and taking in the crooked beauty of the buildings, The Shambles remains one of York’s most iconic and enchanting experiences. 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 from the artist (or signed by the artist). The piece will be stamped from Ascot Studios on its verso.
