Description
In the early 1950s through the 1980s a group of twenty-six African-American artists painted beautiful landscapes that displayed the serene, undeveloped Florida landscape of their time. Today these artists are known as the "Florida Highwaymen" and because of the tranquil scenes and history involved, their original paintings are highly demanded by collectors and enthusiasts. Gibson's work gathers celebrity notice and some of his art has been purchased by Johnny Cochran and Gladys Knight. He was commissioned by Florida Governor Jeb Bush in 2002 to produce paintings that hang in the Executive Office. Another interesting fact: two James Gibson paintings were featured in the movie "Catch Me if You Can", as the director Steven Spielberg is apparently also a fan of the Highwaymen and James Gibson in particular.James Gibson is known for painting dramatic landscapes that feature billowing clouds and have a fantasy bent. James Gibson paintings use extremes of colour throughout, and thick layers of paint to achieve a three-dimensional look. James Gibson paintings are signed inght through trees seen in nearly all of his work.
