JOHN DEMPSEY

"5 Wild Flowers" Original Acrylic and Gouache Painting on Paper

Comes with a Charles Scott Gallery Letter of Authenticity

John Dempsey was called "the best still-affordable painter you have never heard of" in the Washington University journal "The Common Reader," in a 2024 article by Best American writer John Griswold. He often works in Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism but no form is beyond his talents. You'll even find a splash of graffiti style in much of his work.

Done on slightly deckled paper, "5-Flowers" is an incredibly active painting, with 5 "flowers" springing out from the piled mass of graffiti figures. It is Acrylic and Gouache on 100% cotton rag 30lb. paper. Lightly deckled. It measures approximately 22" x 30". Signed by the artist.

Other accolades include gallery exhibitions in the US, UK, Japan and more as well as being an official poster artist for 2009 Lollapalooza, Chicago, and an official poster artist for 2010 SXSW.
