Deadly Triad by Markham is a bold and visually arresting mixed media work exploring themes of mortality and identity. The composition features three distinct skulls—each uniquely designed and facing right—set against solid-color backgrounds of blue, yellow, and red. The stark color blocking enhances the contrast and individuality of each form while maintaining a strong sense of unity across the piece.
Created in 2016, this 12" x 9" work is presented in a custom-painted frame by the artist, perfectly matched in tone to the artwork’s palette. A crisp white mat adds balance and focus, elevating the visual impact and making the piece ready to hang in any setting.
The skull imagery in Deadly Triad was later adapted into three separate pieces for the Backroom Projects Artist Trading Cards Series (2017). Only nine cards were made and distributed from this adaptation, adding to the work’s collectible prestige. The series featured just 36 artists, making Deadly Triad's connection to it even more significant.
In like-new condition, the artwork is hand-signed by Markham and comes with an official certificate of authenticity.
Ideal for collectors of macabre, anatomical, or color-driven works, Deadly Triad blends gothic symbolism with modern aesthetics in a compact and powerful format. Its exclusivity and connection to a collectible series only add to its value and appeal.
