Oscar Murillo — wood, mirror, concrete, rubber and string
Oscar Murillo

wood, mirror, concrete, rubber and string

2013

Oscar Murillo's mixed media assemblage combines humble, everyday materials to create a work that reflects his interest in materiality and the poetic potential of found or discarded objects. By juxtaposing the natural warmth of wood and rubber with the industrial coldness of concrete and reflective surface of mirror, the artist explores tension between opposing qualities and invites viewers to reconsider the aesthetic and conceptual value of non traditional art materials. The inclusion of string suggests connection or fragmentation, a formal element that ties the composition together while maintaining a sense of incompleteness characteristic of Murillo's practice.
