Description
Chrysler Building Taxi Fifth Avenue New York City by Contemporary British Artist Angela Wakefield. This is a major work from her New York Series. No.26.
Art measures 18 x 24 inches
Frame measures 23 x 29 inches
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.
This painting captures a bustling evening scene in New York City, highlighting the iconic Chrysler Building in the background. The vibrant street is alive with activity, featuring illuminated signs, moving traffic, and pedestrians. A prominent yellow taxi in the foreground and detailed urban architecture enhance the dynamic, energetic atmosphere of the city. The artist's use of bright colours and intricate detail conveys the vibrancy and fast-paced nature of NYC nightlife.
From the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan to the gritty streets of Brooklyn, Wakefield's art reflects the city's many moods and personalities. Whether she is depicting the frenzied pace of Times Square or the quiet beauty of Central Park, Wakefield's paintings are a testament to the enduring allure 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.
