Break Bones 2017

"Break Bones" is a 2017 painting by Jason Limon, a contemporary artist known for his whimsical, surreal, and often macabre imagery. The artwork depicts a small, skeletal figure holding a stick and a rock, sitting inside a detailed, ornate container with the words "STICKS & STONES" on its side. The scene is framed by an elaborate, lace-like structure with the words "BREAK BONES" and "WORST" inscribed on either side, adding a layer of playful darkness to the composition. This artwork is a prime example of Limon's signature style, merging elements of Victorian aesthetics with dark humor and fantastical imagery.
