Jimmy Limit produced a series of large-scale photographs printed on vinyl and applied to store windows in downtown Kitchener. Employing commercial product photography, marketing and presentation techniques, Jimmy Limit creates still-life compositions using objects either acquired directly from businesses near the installation site or using objects that make reference to the site’s utility. His images are bright and attractive and at the same time mysterious and enigmatic.
St. Catharines, based artist Jimmy Limit is a native of Toronto. He studied photography at the Novas Scotia College of Art and Design and received his BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design University.
