Trees can be the living record of hundreds if not thousands of years. This piece features the wide and weathered trunk of a quaking aspen tree, which is considered one of the oldest and largest organisms in the world. Much of this stately and robust tree is painted in shades of violet oxide, titan cream, cyan and cerulean blue. Roots gnarled with strength and age reach across the earth below the tree. The background is misty, it is early morning and the sun is just waking up. The traces of light are completed in delicate naples yellow linework throughout the foliage.

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.
