New York Drug Store is a partial homage to Edward Hopper, yet Angela incorporates the New York City of today. The movement of the traffic, the figurative elements and the behaviour of light in this urban environment are beautifully combined in depicting this gritty street scene. This iconic area of Manhattan has been the setting for numerous movies. Art measures 48 x 36 inches 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.
