As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. When we observe the hurried robins, we know this to be true. It is early morning, after a rain and the robins are enthusiastically pulling worms from the moist grass and forest floor. They are in a frenzy and hop back and forth from tree to ground. The robin in this painting is poised and ready for takeoff. Its eye glints with focus, its body detailed in rich lines of cadmium orange, crimson red and yellow.

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.
