About the Item

Times Square New York City Reflections after the Rain by British Urban Landscape Artist, Angela Wakefield. Entitled “November Rain”, this unique original is a major work to continue her epic New York Series which now spans over a decade. Art measures 40 x 30 inches This striking contemporary cityscape captures the electric atmosphere of Times Square after rain, transforming one of the world's most recognisable urban locations into a luminous study of light, colour and reflection. Painted from an unusually low viewpoint, the composition immerses the viewer at street level, where pools of rainwater mirror the illuminated advertising screens and neon architecture above. Drawing upon the tradition of American urban realism while retaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility, Wakefield uses bold passages of turquoise, magenta, crimson and gold to create a dynamic interplay between the city and its reflected counterpart. The wet pavement becomes an abstract surface of fractured colour, allowing the work to move effortlessly between realism and abstraction. The dramatic perspective leads the eye deep into the composition, creating a powerful sense of scale and drawing attention to the soaring vertical structures that define Manhattan's iconic skyline. Human figures are reduced to silhouettes, emphasising the grandeur of the city itself and reinforcing themes of anonymity, movement and modern urban life. Wakefield's confident brushwork and masterful handling of reflected light evoke comparisons with both the atmospheric city scenes of the Ashcan School and the cinematic urban narratives associated with contemporary American realism. Yet the painting remains unmistakably her own, celebrating the energy, optimism and visual spectacle of New York City. Executed with exceptional attention to atmosphere and colour harmony, this work exemplifies Wakefield's long-standing fascination with metropolitan environments and her ability to transform everyday moments into compelling visual experiences. Rich in mood and contemporary appeal, it offers both a powerful statement piece and a sophisticated reflection on modern city life. Wakefield's work is a unique blend of abstraction and realism, with a strong emphasis on colour. Her paintings are known for their bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant hues, which capture the energy and diversity of New York City. The character of New York’s skyline and large residential districts is often defined by the skyscrapers, street scenes and elegant brownstone row houses, town houses, and shabby tenements that were built during a period of rapid expansion at the end of the 19th Century. Angela has now produced over 100 paintings of New York City in her New York Series. New York City’s five boroughs are home to some of the world’s most recognisable, cherished landmarks and attractions. Angela’s painting style perfectly encapsulates the mood of New York. Angela Wakefield 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. The 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 the 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.
