Featuring a young unfurled fiddlehead frond, this piece has a calming and organic colour palette. The pigments used include ochre yellow, sap green, titanium white and burnt sienna. As the fern slowly unfurls, it reveals delicate lacy leaves that appear like textural extensions. These ferns are native to many forests in North America and their fiddleheads are collected in early spring before they fully open.

Jeff Dillon the Canadian Artist, inspired by the bold colours and brush strokes of Post-Impressionist Artists. His unique style focuses on capturing light, not through the detail of realism, but with gesture, illusion, shape and colour. He offers a personal and distinctive style to the world through his bold use of colours and lines, often symbolic images or subject matter. Objects in the paintings retain their realistic appearance yet have a vibrancy and fluidity about them, unique to his work. Jeff Dillon’s new expression of Post-Impressionism is both beloved and revered in the Canadian and Global Contemporary Art World.
