This intense closeup of a forest fire is meant to invoke a sense of consolation for those who have experienced their fierce tenacity. Although fires can be ultimately devastating, historically they provide an opportunity for rebirth or innovation. Forest fires may be caused naturally, or by human negligence, and we should be sure to tread lightly where our actions may cause them. This piece communicates the intense heat and overwhelming presence of fire. The silhouettes of trees are barely discernible from the flickering intensity of the cadmium orange and pyrrole red flames.

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.
