La era de la sinceridad series

A raw and layered composition by Oscar Murillo, this work from the *La era de la sinceridad* series combines the gestural energy of oil stick with the mechanical reproduction of silkscreen, grounded by fragments of newspaper embedded within the surface. Housed in a copper frame crafted by the artist himself, the piece blurs the boundaries between painting, printmaking, and found material, reflecting Murillo's ongoing exploration of labor, globalization, and cultural exchange. The interplay of textures and media creates a charged visual tension that speaks to both collective memory and the intimacy of the handmade.
