  • “Let’s imagine this scenario in the studio: the idea of pollution, which is very important to the space, having a space that is polluted by dust, dirt, leftover things like tape or bits of ephemeral fabric for example. I wanted to produce work with these things in a way that was really more of an exercise… The process was about accumulating or bringing together this material onto the canvas and they became the DNA of the studio.”
    —Oscar Murillo
