Torn, Mini Feature Exhibition at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, PA / March 5 - 26, 2021
Arch Enemy Arts presents “Torn,” a five-piece solo feature by San Antonio-based artist, Jason Limon, who characterizes his paintings as “puzzles with typography.” When we look at Limon’s work, the scale, technical mastery, and detail of each piece forces us to lean in, inches away from the panel, to try to piece together whatever hidden phrase he’s obscured within his maze of muted tones. We always get lost and have to retrace our steps, moving letters and words around until finally (score!), we see what we’ve been missing. Smiling skeletons and paper puppets act as merry pranksters, taking part in a perversely enjoyable undertaking—to “read” Limon’s work.
