Lot 0080: AMERICAN OIL PAINTING MUSICIANS BY JOYCE ROYBAL

41 reviews

Joyce Roybal (American, French, Italian, born 1955) oil painting on canvas depicting a group of musicians. Signed lower right. Framed. Joyce Roybal is known for Cartoonish, whimsical child genre painting, puffy people. Artist, Joyce Roybal, sometimes listed as J. or James, memorializes the naive purity of childhood by painting whimsical children playing musical instruments or participating in sports. His character studies are commonly called Puffy People, and they're reminiscent of the work of Bolivian painter, Graciela Rodo Boulanger, a possible inspiration to Roybal when he was 18. The artist, Joyce Roybal, however, is an enigma. Available biographical information is limited. One of a kind artwork.

Overall good vintage condition. Signs of age and wear. Refer to photos. Sold as is.
Frame 28 1/4 x 24 1/2" in. Canvas 24" x 20 1/4" in. All measurements are approximate.
