Oscar Murillo — Bingo
Oscar Murillo

Bingo

A raw and visceral canvas by Oscar Murillo, "Bingo" combines oil, oil stick, and dirt to create a layered, textured surface that blurs the boundary between painting and the physical world. The incorporation of dirt grounds the work in materiality and lived experience, reflecting Murillo's ongoing exploration of labor, migration, and cultural identity. The result is a gestural, earthy composition that carries both the weight of its humble materials and the energy of its making.
