Vibrant, character-driven portrait by Joan Vaupen, signed and dated 1997.
This striking 1997 portrait by Joan Vaupen features a seated woman rendered in rich, expressive brushwork against an abstract geometric backdrop. The artist combines figurative clarity with a playful, almost rhythmic patterning in the background, giving the work an engaging tension between stillness and motion.
The sitter’s pose, which is serene yet direct, anchors the composition, while the abstract shapes surrounding her add depth, rhythm, and a sense of graphic modernism. Vaupen’s confident handling of color is especially notable: deep reds, pinks, greens, and neutrals create a harmonious and visually engaging balance.
The work is signed “J. Vaupen '97” at the lower right and marked on the canvas edge. The painting is on stretched canvas and presents beautifully as-is, with clean edges that allow it to be hung unframed for a minimalist look.
