Segmented into four discrete abstract zones that chime with centrifugal energy, Oscar Murillo’s
2012
Segmented into four discrete abstract zones that chime with centrifugal energy, Oscar Murillo's dynamic composition employs oil, oil stick, graphite, and dirt on canvas to create a raw and visceral visual language. The incorporation of dirt into the medium grounds the work in a sense of place and labor, while the sweeping marks and bold gestures radiate outward with restless, kinetic force. Murillo's layered surfaces blur the boundaries between painting and material reality, inviting viewers to consider themes of cultural identity, globalization, and the physical residue of human activity.
