This painting is a close display of a large grizzly mid stride, in a sea of grass and reeds. The eyes of the bear are strikingly dark, and it moves like a shadow through the changing fall colours. This painting is rich in saturated pigments including yellow and red oxide, cerulean blue and cobalt green. The tones are shared between the foliage and the bear, and the colour harmony communicates how discreet such a large animal can be in their native environment.

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.
