As soon as your eyes meet this piece, you feel the intensity and warmth of the sun as the light emanates from the painting. This eastern tailed blue butterfly is clinging to a Scottish thistle. The background is achieved with the use of layers of wispy, delicate brush strokes. Warm and hot colours of red and orange pour out of this piece, and are contrasted with the cool blue and purple of the butterfly and thistle.

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.
