Tiny Collector 2016

Jason Limon's "Tiny Collector" (2016) depicts a whimsical wooden box overflowing with miniature trinkets. The box appears to be a vintage toy vending machine, with a crank and a slot labeled "ODD." The piece is a delightful and intricate example of contemporary realism, with a focus on detail and a sense of nostalgic charm. The miniature toys and objects, like the toy car, a frog in a jar, and a book titled "Wise Guy's Knowings," add to the playful nature of the work. Limon's masterful use of light and shadow further emphasizes the texture and detail of the objects within the box.
