Oscar Murillo — Number 11
Oscar Murillo

Number 11

Number 11 by Oscar Murillo is a dynamic mixed-media work that combines spray paint, pencil, oil, lead, and dust on canvas, reflecting the artist's signature engagement with material accumulation and industrial processes. The layering of these diverse substances creates a richly textured surface that speaks to themes of labor, migration, and collective memory. Murillo's incorporation of raw and everyday materials blurs the boundaries between the studio and the wider social world, inviting viewers to consider the traces left behind by human activity.
