el pozo de agua

<p>El pozo de agua is conceived as a reservoir of resources, experiences, and knowledge that moves between the intimate and the collective, the local and the global, the material and the immaterial. This inaugural show with kurimanzutto gallery presents bodies of work spanning the last 15 years that are composite grounds, not just in the literal sense, but conceptually too. Often made from pieces of canvas that have inhabited the studio over long periods of time or canvases from the artist's Frequencies archive, each work is then woven together by a combination of pigment, words and gesture. These ingredients are layered atop one another in a series of marks, traces and impressions often made through physically printing one painting onto another. The result is a series of binaries: line next to gesture, pigment next to canvas, blue next to red, abundance next to scarcity, intuition next to chance. These works echo the thread of participation that flows throughout Murillo's life and work, his paintings are an embodiment of the negotiation with material that Murillo invites people to take part in.</p>
