Oscar Murillo : if i was to draw a line...

20 Sep-1 Dec 2013

Overview

For his South London Gallery exhibition, Oscar Murillo transforms the main exhibition space into a studio-like environment incorporating a new group of stitched, painted canvases, shown alongside floor-based pieces made from hundreds of drawings in biro on paper which he made over the past year and then left to gather dust before pulping them to make densely textured works which defy obvious categorisation. Low-tech films shown on iMac monitors give an insight into some of the contexts informing the work in the show, while marked copper sheets from former projects evidence various ways that the passing of time can be documented and archived through materials and discarded matter.
