OSCAR MURILLO AT GAGOSIAN
Marks and Whispers, an exhibition of paintings, works on paper, and a film by Oscar Murillo, just opened at the gallery’s Rome location.
Murillo is known for expansive canvases, constructed from stitched-together elements, which
incorporate elements of gesture, text, and studio detritus. He also produces books, drawings,
sculptural installations, and videos that deconstruct and map flows of populations, power, and
resources in currents of globalization and cultural exchange. Through each strand of his practice,
Murillo probes ideas of collectivity and shared culture, and demonstrates a commitment to the power
of material presence.
