Whole 2021

"Whole" is a 2021 work by Jason Limon, a 20th-century artist. The artwork is a triptych depicting a skull, a skeleton, and two ornate hands with the words "HOW" and "DIE" incorporated into the design. The skull is a central motif, with a pocket watch in place of one eye, a sun-like object in the other, and a paintbrush protruding from its mouth. The ornate hands are decorated with floral patterns and are juxtaposed with the skull, creating a visual tension between life and death. This work is a characteristic example of Limon's style, exploring themes of mortality and the ephemerality of time with a unique blend of visual elements.
