#87 – Light Comes Before Dark

Sometimes when the sun is setting, it feels like there is a stage light casting a strong warm focus over our environment. In this piece the arbutus tree is alight with afternoon sun as it sets in the distance. The background is detailed in cyan blue and soft teal, the tree trunk and rugged limbs gleam in yellow and quinacridone gold.

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.
