By Angela Wakefield

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.
Aesthetic Appeal:
• Color Mastery: Angela’s bold use of color creates an emotionally charged atmosphere. 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.

Man on the Hill Original Painting "Contemplation" by Contemporary British Artist
By Angela Wakefield
Located in Preston, GB
Man on the Hill Original Painting entitled "Contemplation" by leading Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield. Blue, white & black expressive impasto on canvas.
Art measures 24 x 24 inches
Frame measures 29 x 29 inches
This piece presents a hauntingly atmospheric and introspective moment, using abstraction to evoke emotion and imagination. Here’s an art curator’s perspective:
1. Mood and Emotion
• The painting captures a profound sense of solitude and reflection. The lone figure standing against a turbulent, layered sky evokes feelings of contemplation, longing, or even melancholy. The use of blues and dark tones reinforces this introspective atmosphere.
2. Abstract Expressionism
• The loose, textured brushstrokes create a sense of movement and depth in the sky, while the contrast between the figure and the landscape lends a poetic ambiguity. The lack of facial details in the figure allows viewers to project their own emotions or narratives onto the scene.
3. Color Palette and Contrast
• The predominance of deep blues with hints of white and muted purples creates a mood that feels both serene and stormy. The sharp black silhouette of the figure against the lighter background highlights isolation while grounding the composition.
4. Narrative and Ambiguity
• This painting invites interpretation. The figure could represent a memory, a spirit, or simply a person lost in thought. The lack of specific details keeps the work universal, allowing viewers to connect personally to its themes.
5. Framing and Presentation
• The white frame softens the piece and provides a modern, clean boundary that contrasts well with the dark and moody composition. It enhances the painting’s versatility, making it suitable for both intimate spaces and larger collections.
Artistic Significance:
This work speaks to themes of human connection (or disconnection) with nature, identity, and the passage of time. It would resonate with those who appreciate contemplative art that blends abstraction with emotional depth, making it a unique addition to a thoughtful collection.
