“Interwoven by Roots” is more than a depiction of a forest path—it is a tribute to the generations who have walked before us and the deep connections that bind us together. As I stood before this scene, I was struck by the way the roots wove themselves into a natural staircase, shaped by countless footsteps over time. Each tangled root tells a story, symbolizing the family tree—intertwining lives across generations.

Just as trees form an unseen network beneath the soil, sharing strength and nourishment, families are bound by an invisible thread of wisdom, resilience, and love. Each birch tree in this painting is unique, its trunk marked with distinct patterns, yet all belong to the same species. The older, towering trees stand as protectors, nurturing the younger ones as they grow. Though we may take different paths, our roots remain interwoven, grounding us in history, love, and shared experience—an enduring connection that stretches across time.

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.
