This painting is alive with the energy and wildness of nature. We know that humans and bears have coexisted since the beginning, because early humans painted the image of bears on their cave walls. We can only imagine the awe and fear a bear in close proximity instilled in the human heart of early peoples. Bears today prefer to live in forested mountains, river valleys, and grassy meadows of sage and wild plants. This painting reveals the beauty, majesty, and presence of one of the largest land carnivores.

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.
