About the Item

Orange, Black & Cream Abstract Expressionist Art - a Unique Original Painting - 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. Signed, initialled, with full authentication. Art measures 28.5 x 19.5 inches Frame measures 37 x 27.5 inches A highly expressive abstract landscape by contemporary British artist Angela Wakefield, executed in mixed media on paper. Richly layered with gestural brushwork, fluid washes and bold calligraphic marks, the composition captures the essence of the landscape rather than its literal form, evoking shifting light, weather and the changing rhythms of the natural world. Earthy ochres, warm siennas, soft greys and delicate hints of turquoise emerge through textured layers, while sweeping black linear forms create a strong sense of movement and structure. The result is an atmospheric and emotive composition that sits comfortably between abstraction and landscape painting. Created during Wakefield’s early exploration of abstraction, the work demonstrates a confident understanding of colour, texture and expressive mark-making. Rather than depicting a specific location, it invites the viewer to experience the mood and memory of landscape through gesture and atmosphere. Professionally presented behind a conservation mount within a contemporary black frame, the painting is ready to hang and would make a striking addition to both modern and traditional interiors. Angela Wakefield is an established British artist whose work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. Best known for her cityscapes and landscapes, her increasingly sought-after abstract works reveal another important dimension of her artistic practice. This striking early abstract by Angela Wakefield offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a formative work from one of Britain’s leading contemporary painters. Rich in atmosphere and emotion, the painting captures the raw instinct and gestural freedom that would later become central to Wakefield’s celebrated cityscapes and expressive landscapes. This painting is especially significant because it belongs to an extremely rare body of early abstract work produced at the beginning of Angela Wakefield’s professional career. Art critics have often regarded these works as the blueprint for the artist’s mature style, revealing the origins of her distinctive approach to colour, atmosphere and abstraction. Long before her internationally recognised New York scenes and contemporary landscapes, Wakefield was exploring mood, gesture and texture in a way that feels instinctive, confident and highly expressive. Collectors are increasingly drawn to important early works by established artists because they reveal the foundations of a career and often become highly sought after over time. This piece carries both visual and historical importance, making it not only a striking statement artwork for an interior, but also a valuable addition to a serious contemporary art collection. The painting is presented in an elegant frame that enhances its dramatic colour palette and gives it a refined gallery presence. A rare and important original work that captures the earliest stages of Angela Wakefield’s artistic journey, filled with emotion, movement and the unmistakable beginnings of her unique visual language. 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.
