Dreamy Poinciana by Rodney Demps Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural wilderness and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this original painting, “Dreamy Poinciana,” created by the important Florida Highwaymen artist, Rodney Demps. This stunning piece captures the beauty of Florida’s backcountry, showcasing Demps’s ability to use bold colors and intricate details to bring the scene to life.
About the Artist: Known as “the surrealist Highwayman,” Rodney Demps’ career as an artist is unique among the 26 original Florida Highwaymen painters. Never selling his work on the road as his fellow Highwaymen did, Demps is included in the group due to his direct connection to both A.E. “Bean” Backus – a local white painter of some renown who mentored a few of the Highwaymen painters – and Alfred Hair, the artist most often credited, along with Harold Newton, for bringing together the loose-knit association of African American “fast” painters who sold their artworks door-to-door along Florida’s highways.
This painting is a quintessential example of Florida Highwaymen art, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts. As a historical record of Florida’s landscapes, this original painting captures the untamed beauty throughout the state.
