This dynamic original painting by British contemporary artist Angela Wakefield captures the iconic sight of New York’s yellow cabs set against the dramatic backdrop of towering skyscrapers. Painted in a tall, vertical format, the composition emphasises the soaring scale of the city, drawing the eye upward from the bustling traffic to the monumental architecture above.

The bold orange of the taxis provides a striking contrast to the monochromatic tones of the urban canyon, with reflections dancing across the slick street surface. Wakefield’s mastery of perspective and atmosphere brings the scene vividly to life, distilling the relentless energy and grandeur of Manhattan into a single, powerful image.

Angela Wakefield is celebrated internationally for her urban realism, with works in private collections across Europe and the United States. Her depictions of New York are among her most sought-after, combining architectural precision with an expressive painterly style that reflects both her technical mastery and emotional connection to the subject.
