The dim light of evening provides a backdrop for dense rows of tall grass. The tufty blooms of the grass have a linear silhouette, poised with a soft elegance. I grew up in the prairies, and this painting was inspired by memories of running through tall grass and corn. The background is completed in a soft prussian blue pigment while the grass is painted in stark carbon black.

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.
