Description

Offered for auction is a captivating original work by the celebrated contemporary artist Joyce Roybal. Known for her whimsical "puffy" figures and upbeat themes, this piece features five young musicians in a vibrant, tightly-knit ensemble.

The artwork showcases Roybal’s signature hand-textured technique, where the impasto applications give the figures a raised, three-dimensional presence on the canvas. The composition is a masterclass in joyful color, utilizing bright stripes, harlequin patterns, and bold primary hues. The musicians—playing trumpets, a flute, a violin, and a central cello—are rendered with Roybal’s iconic minimalist facial expressions, emphasizing a sense of peaceful focus and harmony.

This piece comes beautifully housed in a substantial 14 x 15 inch wooden frame with ornate gold-leaf detailing along the inner lip, perfectly complementing the golden tones of the instruments.
