As night approaches, the great grey owl’s vision sharpens and the darkened night landscape becomes clearer. Owls are often pictured in stationary, solemn poses but this piece aims to communicate the calculated intensity of their nature. The owl’s eyes are alight with attention and its plumage appears on end, ready for flight. The hypnotic background mirrors the keen focus of the owl, honed in on its target. This painting is rich in earthy tones of sap green, titan green pale, burnt umber and muted grey.

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.
