This portrait is based on a beautiful portrait photograph taken by Baron Wolman, in her San Francisco home, in 1968.
Renowned for his obsessive technique, Sebastian Krüger has captured legendary rock and roller Janis Joplin's quirky smile, radiant personality, and flamboyant fashion sense in this work from 2006.
Sebastian Krüger's subjects are generally artists he admires and his portraits, while caricatures, always contain a great deal of kindness while at the same time thoroughly subverting "the world of beautiful appearances." This contradiction is at the heart of Krüger's work, a characteristic that has made him extremely popular with art connoisseurs all over the world.
