Painted in a binary black-over-white-background (painted vs not painted) the painting The Grave is based on a cell from an old comic book wherein a zombie rises from the grave. In the painting the zombie itself has been removed, leaving just the open grave. The viewer is left unsure of whether the grave is newly dug - an open grave to fall into - or whether it has been vacated by its previous (un)dead inhabitant - the scene of a resurrection. The painting is a meditation on the continuing (un)death of painting, the 2-, 3- multi-dimensionality of the canvas and the old trope of the painting as a portal.
