Located in Preston, GB
Painting of Chrysler Building New York City by Contemporary British Artist Angela Wakefield Art measures 31.5 x 31.5 inches Frame measures 36 x 36 inches This vibrant cityscape by Angela Wakefield captures the electric energy of New York City with cinematic intensity. Featuring the iconic Chrysler Building rising majestically in the distance, the composition pulls the viewer into a dynamic streetscape alive with glowing streetlights, bustling traffic, and the saturated hues of an evening sky.

The deep reds, warm oranges, and luminous yellows against cool urban blues evoke a sense of both movement and warmth. • Perspective & Depth: The central vanishing point draws the eye forward, enhancing the feeling of stepping into the painting. The architectural precision paired with expressive brushwork creates a rare balance of realism and stylized interpretation. • Urban Romance: There’s a nostalgic, cinematic quality to the work—like a scene from a classic film. It captures not just the physicality of New York, but its energy, its pulse. Why It’s Valuable and Investable: • Signature Style: Wakefield’s distinctive visual language—urban realism infused with vibrant expressionism—has made her a recognized and collected artist on both sides of the Atlantic. • Market Appeal: Cityscapes, especially those depicting iconic locations like NYC, have universal appeal. They resonate with collectors who seek both emotional connection and cultural significance. • Proven Artist: With over two decades of success and international recognition, Angela’s work continues to appreciate in value. Her paintings are held in private and corporate collections worldwide. • Timeless Subject: The fusion of architecture, light, and motion ensures this piece remains relevant and impactful for generations. This painting isn’t just a beautiful addition to any space—it’s a piece of urban history told through the eye of a masterful contemporary artist.

Moonlight Bay Atmospheric Abstract Seascape Art by Contemporary British Artist
By Angela Wakefield
Located in Preston, GB
Moonlight Bay Atmospheric Abstract Seascape Painting by Leading Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield Art measures 31.5 x 31.5 inches Frame measure 37 x 37 inches This painting is an exquisite example of abstract expressionism, capturing the viewer's imagination with its evocative use of colour and form. The artist skillfully blends deep, moody blacks and grays with vibrant splashes of pink, orange, and yellow, creating a dynamic contrast that suggests a dramatic sunset or a tempestuous sky. The interplay of light and dark tones brings a sense of depth and movement to the piece, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene through their own lens. The broad, expressive brushstrokes and layers of colour give the painting a textured, almost tactile quality, adding to its visual intrigue. This complexity in texture and color makes it a compelling focal point for any room, drawing the eye and sparking conversation. The artwork is beautifully framed in an elegant, slightly distressed gold frame that complements the richness of the painting, adding a touch of sophistication and timelessness. This combination of contemporary abstract style with a classic frame makes it versatile for various interior settings, from modern minimalist to more traditional decors. Ideal for collectors who appreciate the emotional and interpretative power of abstract art, this painting offers a unique blend of intensity and tranquility. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a space but also provides a window into the artist's creative vision, making it a truly captivating piece for any art enthusiast.
