Rotating 2017

Jason Limon’s, "Rotating," painted in the 21st century, presents a whimsical, yet unsettling figure adorned with text and symbols. Limon's art often exists in a space between playful innocence and darker undertones. The circus-like lettering surrounding the central figure contrasts with its haunting, vacant eyes and skull-like adornments. Limon seems to create a meditation on how we engage with the world around us. The artist has said that he "like[s] to create paintings that tell a story." The themes of perception, reality, and the unseen connect to the human experience. Limon challenges traditional representations by blending a vintage aesthetic with a surreal, dreamlike narrative. The painting uses vibrant colors and bizarre imagery, inviting viewers to reflect on their own internal experiences. Ultimately, it's a balancing act between the joy of spinning and the awareness of gravity's pull.
