#232 – Upon the Shore

This painting is a beautiful depiction of nature’s endless cycle of change. The view is positioned from high up on the edge of a cliff, looking down as the tide comes in. The water’s current creates a pattern that dances along the surface; a wise and weather-beaten tree stands in place watching the same view for decades. You can see the tree’s roots reaching deep into the cliff, anchoring it against the strong winds. The blowing wind is causing a dappled pattern of light and dark on the leaves. The waves are crashing against the rocks below as the tall mountains cast a shadow on the land and water below. This piece conjures oceanside memories, complete with salty smells and misty air on my face.

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.
