"The individual canvases are very much the DNA; they record that movement, the process of making."
A large-scale, raw and visceral work by Oscar Murillo, this piece layers oil, oil stick, graphite, and dirt onto canvas to create a surface dense with the traces of physical labor and movement. The accumulated marks, smears, and residues function as a kind of bodily record, preserving the gestures and energy of the making process itself. Rooted in Murillo's exploration of collective labor, migration, and material history, the canvas becomes less a finished object than a living document of action and presence.
