garden still life or endless beauty

Spring - Fall 2026

“I think the photo is from summer 2025 because I was taking alot of photos of flowers then. I don’t remember taking this photo though. I guess it could be called garden still life or endless beauty, but that is maybe boring, but less boring than calling it untitled. I guess you could just copy and paste all of this.”


Jimmy Limit uses photography and video to explore the tension between image and object. Adopting the language of commercial photography and advertising he creates highly graphic compositions that are both familiar and strangely illegible, causing the viewer to question the motives of the imagery.

He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout Canada and the United States including Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, Temnikova & Kasela, Tallinn Estonia, Rodman Hall St. Catharines, Clint Roenisch Gallery, Toronto and Printed Matter, NYC. His work has been published in The New York Times, Frieze Magazine and has been featured on the covers of C Magazine and cura. Recent public works have included Photos for a Project in Progress at the Bentway in Toronto and Photos for Vacant Storefronts, for CAFKA16 in Kitchener, ON. He was born in Toronto and currently lives and works in St. Catharines with his partner and three children.
