Dark & Gloomy 2017

"Dark & Gloomy" is a 2017 painting by Jason Limon, featuring a whimsical, anthropomorphic creature adorned with a lavish gown, seemingly made of fabric and adorned with intricate embellishments. The creature has large, dark eyes and a crown-like headdress, while two skeletal figures are perched on its shoulders, suggesting a theme of mortality and the passage of time. The vibrant colors and ornate detailing create a playful yet slightly unsettling atmosphere, characteristic of Limon's signature style, which often blends elements of whimsy, folk art, and a touch of macabre.
