Outside Influence 2020

Jason Limon's 2020 painting "Outside Influence" is a surrealist work depicting a skeleton artist painting inside of a cracked skull. The work is characterized by its dark humor and exploration of the human condition through symbolism. The skull, a common symbol of death and mortality, is used as a container for the artist's creativity. The artist, represented as a skeleton, is struggling to break free from the limitations of his own mortality. This image, though unsettling, explores the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. The intricate details and the artist's mastery of realistic technique make the work captivating.
