Zombie by Markham is a visceral gouache watercolor on Bristol vellum, created in 2010. Measuring 11" x 14," the piece is in like-new condition and comes framed with a matte, ready to hang. It also includes the artist's certificate of authenticity, ensuring its provenance and uniqueness.
This haunting work features a zombie figure with a grotesquely malformed arm extended toward the ground. The body, arms, and face reveal exposed muscle tissue, with only fragments of the face intact and the lower jaw entirely missing. These raw, unsettling details evoke the decay and anguish synonymous with the undead.
Set against a stark black background, the word "Zombie" appears as a faded banner above the figure, subtly blending into the composition while adding an eerie narrative element. The dark palette and textural depth created by gouache watercolors enhance the chilling atmosphere, pulling the viewer into a macabre world.
Zombie is a striking piece that balances horror and artistry, making it an ideal acquisition for collectors of dark and surreal art. Its masterful execution and thematic boldness ensure it remains a compelling focal point in any space.
