Everything I Am Saying Is False

Medium: gouache watercolor on mounted paper

Size: 18" x 24"

Year: 2022

Everything I Am Saying Is False by Markham is a surreal fine art original painting, created in 2022. This gouache watercolor work on mounted paper measures 18" x 24". It is in new condition, hand-signed by the artist, and includes a certificate of authenticity.

Set against a dreamlike blue background, this piece presents a richly layered and enigmatic composition. In the upper left, a plant-like pod stretches into view, while a storm cloud occupies the upper right, creating a visual tension between natural growth and impending chaos. At the painting’s center, a broken cross floats mid-air, its pointed lower end piercing a human heart at the bottom of the composition. Blood streams from the wound, adding a visceral intensity to the scene.

To the right of the cross hovers the head of a bespectacled, mustachioed man with a professorial air, gazing outward. Below him, a dome-shaped chamber houses a solitary figure, illuminated by an energy beam that seems to either teleport him there or prepare to transport him away, adding an element of sci-fi mystery to the surreal tableau.

Markham’s meticulous attention to symbolic detail and his bold use of surreal imagery invite viewers to explore themes of conflict, transition, and the fragility of existence. Everything I Am Saying Is False is a compelling addition to any collection, offering both thought-provoking narrative and artistic mastery.
