Still Life Painting with Lemons and Vintage Red Tin on a Stone Wall by Leading British Contemporary Artist, Angela Wakefield
Art measures 12 x 12 inches
A vibrant and contemporary still life by British artist Angela Wakefield, depicting bright yellow lemons resting inside a richly decorated red tin container. Painted in acrylic on board, the composition balances bold colour with a gentle sense of domestic calm.
The luminous lemons glow against the warm red of the patterned tin, whose delicate butterfly motifs and ornamental details add a playful decorative rhythm to the scene. Wakefield’s handling of paint is confident and expressive, allowing soft tonal transitions in the background to contrast with the crisp colour intensity of the fruit and container.
The composition celebrates the quiet beauty of everyday objects. The circular form of the tin and its lid create a pleasing visual dialogue, while the stone-like background adds subtle texture and depth. The result is a painting that feels both contemporary and timeless, echoing the tradition of classic European still life while retaining a distinctly modern painterly sensibility.
This work demonstrates Wakefield’s ability to transform simple subjects into visually striking compositions through colour harmony, pattern, and careful arrangement.
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.
