In this piece we see a barred owl poised with a curious sideways gaze, perched atop a nearby branch. The cool toned and ambiguous forest behind the owl helps to conjure images of nature waking in the early hours of morning. With dawn approaching, the owl is preparing for its daily rest in the safety of the forest. The soft manganese blues, pale cream and titanate yellows lend a feeling of calm and tranquility to the piece.

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.
