About the Item

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.

  • LANDSCAPE V - Contemporary Atmospheric Landscape, Modern Nature Painting
    By Grzegorz Wójcik
    Located in Salzburg, AT
    A few words of the artist about his art: When i painting landscapes, I usually choose simple geometric arrangements, contrasts of verticals and levels. I juxtapose the smooth surface of the sky with the rough texture of earth or grass. I paint symmetrical reflections in water and rhythmic repetitions of trees. Even an ordinary, seemingly uninteresting fragment of the suburban landscape hides a beauty that I want to see and then transfer to the canvas. I am inspired by nature because it contains a hidden secret of existence. For me, painting it is a reflection on life and passing away. It is an attempt to capture the imperceptible essence, to paint what cannot be seen. I think that my paintings can be a respite, an antidote for a man tired of technology, constant rush, hustle and bustle of the city. Grzegorz Wójcik...
