In early spring, the river runs fast with large pieces of melting ice floating downstream. Nature surges in quiet anticipation of spring and life giving warmth to come. The background of this piece is softly layered with pigments of violet, yellow and blue with no discernable separation between the colours. The dainty silhouettes of the leafless trees are reflected off of the river below. We see the warm glow of the sun casting a red sheen across the ice and flowing water.

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.
