Sign of Life 2019

Jason Limon’s 2019 painting, “Sign of Life,” presents a macabre and intricate composition. The artwork's central figure is a skeletal figure clad in a moth-like cloak, its wings revealing the outline of two skulls. The background of the artwork is a collage of small, detailed, and seemingly mundane objects, such as a matchbox, batteries, and an old tin can. The juxtaposition of the skeletal figure and the everyday objects creates a stark contrast, adding a sense of irony and unsettling beauty to the piece. This whimsical and darkly humorous approach is characteristic of Limon's work, and often explores themes of life, death, and the ephemerality of existence.
