Description
Ameryllis Study 1 – Miniature Abstract Floral Canvas Art by Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield
Art measures 12 x 9 inches
Frame measures 16 x 13 inches
An intimate and richly expressive early work by renowned British artist Angela Wakefield, this small-scale study of an Amaryllis reveals the foundations of her distinctive painterly voice. Bold, gestural brushstrokes form the velvety deep crimson petals, contrasted with delicate daubs of pink and white that suggest surrounding blooms or falling light. The backdrop is warmly abstracted, with hints of ochre and sienna peeking through layers of floral atmosphere.
Signed with her early monogram ASW, this piece holds particular significance for collectors of Wakefield’s oeuvre, offering a rare glimpse into her formative exploration of colour, form, and emotional resonance. Though modest in scale, the work radiates vitality and drama — the Amaryllis, long a symbol of strength and artistic beauty, is fittingly captured in her hands with raw energy and tenderness.
A perfect addition for seasoned collectors or those looking to invest in an original by one of Britain’s most compelling contemporary artists.
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.
