This painting features Calgary, Alberta and was inspired by the glowing vibrancy of the busy city at dusk. The canvas appears lit by the thousands of lights organized in linear patterns against the untamed sky. The clouds are rolling onward and their organic shapes feel worlds apart from the cityscape below. The sky is preparing for rest, but the city is bright and never quite asleep even at night. The intense sky is completed in teal, cerulean blue and paynes grey. Meticulous carbon black linework is combined with pigments of pyrrole orange, burnt sienna, oxide brown, titanate cream, and titanium white to paint the dense cityscape.

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.
