#179 – Curiosity

This piece was commissioned for a professional who dedicated her career to studying otters. When asked to elaborate on their nature, she confidently stated otters are the happiest of all the animals from birth to death. These animals are extremely social and thrive in environments where they can engage in play and communication with fellow otters. This piece is highly dynamic, and the different focal points flow perfectly into one another. Ample ranges of earth tone colours demonstrate the otter’s ability to blend in with their rocky and wet environment. Relish in a calming range of neutral colours including prominent tones of ochre brown, titan cream, quinacridone crimson, chromium oxide green and mars 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.
