FEEL 2022

Jason Limon’s painting ‘FEEL’ is a striking example of contemporary surrealism, seemingly made with acrylics on a smooth board or panel. The artist's layering of imagery, from the anatomical heart rendered in blues and reds to the decorative skull motif, suggests a complex emotional landscape. Look at the way the word ‘FEEL’ is fractured across the surface - a direct invitation to engage with the painting on a visceral level. Limon uses a muted palette to create a dreamlike atmosphere, with details emerging from the shadows like half-formed memories. The skeleton figure acts as a poignant reminder of our own mortality, and the fragility of human emotion. I'm reminded of the symbolic imagery found in Frida Kahlo's work, where personal pain and vulnerability are transformed into powerful visual statements. Just as in Kahlo’s paintings, ‘FEEL’ embraces ambiguity, inviting us to consider the multiple layers of meaning embedded within its deceptively simple composition.
