B

Correct answer: A
Explanation
The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause, which is set off with commas. The nonrestrictive clause, "whose work is known for its vibrant colors," provides additional information about the artist but is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, the correct punctuation is to use commas to set off the nonrestrictive clause.
