About the Item

An impasto seascape of sunrise hues teal, coral, and gold evoking calm renewal Art measures 12 x 12 inches Frame measures 18 x 18 inches Overview This smaller canvas, signed ASW at lower right, is another masterclass in Angela Wakefield’s emotional geography - where the coastal landscape becomes a mirror for atmospheric and psychological flux. The composition is built on that familiar Wakefield equilibrium: a fine horizon line, luminous sky, and an expressive surf foreground rendered in confident impasto. Chromatic structure The palette pivots toward clarity here. Where the previous work brooded in reds and violets, this piece opens into aqua and gold - a breath of morning light rather than dusk’s residue. A spectrum of teal, ochre, and coral transitions seamlessly into pinks and greys, as though the tide itself carries the light ashore. Technique Wakefield’s palette knife remains the dominant voice - broad, assertive gestures across the surf, broken by texture and sharp ridges of pigment. Notice the way she leaves air between the strokes: the turquoise sea “breathes” through gaps in the application, giving a translucence rare in knife work. The layering of white and pale yellow over teal evokes both foam and reflection - a duality that defines her marine abstractions. Compositional dynamics • Horizon line: Held taut but subtly fractured - perhaps an estuary or distant headland, rendered as an anchoring band. • Foreground: Turbulent but rhythmic, leading the viewer diagonally into the distance. • Sky: A field of kinetic energy, the brushwork following wind direction; cloud and color merge in transitional light. Interpretation This feels like a moment after turbulence - a cleansing, almost redemptive calm. The chromatic rise from coral to cerulean speaks of renewal, the tide’s eternal reset. Wakefield’s emotional temperature here is gentler; she invites contemplation rather than confrontation. The painting sits at that point where realism dissolves into mood - where the literal sea becomes a metaphor for inner equilibrium. Curatorial note Pairing this piece with the previous, the viewer reads a cycle: Twilight and Dawn. Together they trace the artist’s fascination with threshold light - the hour that never fully settles. Lighting should be cool and directional to articulate the textural relief in the surf without bleaching the warm underglow. 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 rear. This original artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery. The piece will be stamped from Ascot Studios on its verso.
