“The individual canvases are very much the DNA; they record that movement, the process of making.” - Oscar Murillo, 2013
Oscar Murillo's expansive canvas pulses with raw, visceral energy, combining oil stick, spray paint, dirt, and collage into a layered visual record of physical and cultural movement. Bound together with string, the work bears the literal traces of its own creation — accumulated grime, gestural marks, and fragmented materials that serve as a kind of bodily imprint. Rooted in Murillo's Colombian heritage and his experience of displacement and labor, the piece functions as both archive and autobiography, mapping identity through process rather than polish.
