The Entombment of Andy

30x30" (76.2 x 76.2cm) Oil on Belgian linen

A surreal collision of art history and personal mythology, The Entombment of Andy reimagines Caravaggio’s The Entombment of Christ through the lens of a dream—one where the titans of modern and contemporary art bear the lifeless body of Andy Warhol to his final resting place. Salvador Dalí, Jackson Pollock, Francis Bacon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pablo Picasso emerge as pallbearers, each a defining force of their era, now united in a scene that feels both reverent and absurd.

Lush, expressive oil paint breathes life into the figures, contrasting the raw Belgian linen that frames them—an intentional interplay between the refined and the unfinished, the sacred and the profane. In this work, Warhol, rendered in grayscale with stitches across his body, becomes an icon of artistic resurrection. Is this a farewell, or is it a rebirth?

This piece invites viewers to contemplate legacy, influence, and the eternal dialogue between artists across time. Art never truly dies—it is carried forward by those who follow.
