Reaching toward universal experiences unclouded by specific identities, Jason Limon<\/a> strips his recurring characters to the bare bones. The San Antonio-based artist (previously<\/a>) continues his uncanny paintings of skeletons, who find themselves in precarious, startling, and genial situations. Recent works include \u201cPeas In A Pod,\u201d which features two friends adopting new heads from a large, curved shell. Similar smiling orbs appear in \u201cThe Right Grape\u201d as a character chooses and fits the cheerful green fruit onto its neck.<\/p>\n

Working in acrylic paint, Limon conjures myriad textures, whether through the deckled edges of a paper-craft structure or thin, crinkled plastic wrap. Combined with his muted palette of neutrals and jewel tones, these three-dimensional effects imbue the scenes with a vintage charm and a sense of timelessness.<\/p>\n

Limon is currently working on a few personal projects, so keep an eye on his Instagram<\/a> for updates. Find originals and prints in his shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n
