Original artwork description:

'Tango' is one of only a few remaining figurative works available from Joyce's portrait painting years of 2000 - 2016.

The work was inspired by the model's love of dance and her yellow dress as she gets ready to go out. This piece was one of three figurative works created specifically for the Florence Biennale of 2007 which was held at the Fortezza da Basso. (the two others have previously sold). The work has also been exhibited in Leipzig, Germany, in 2008 as part of the Palm Art Award.

'Tango' has never been available for sale until now and is newly listed here!
