I met Oscar Murillo a few months ago during the Nada and Basel Artfairs in Miami, last year in December. He had an impressive solo show at the Rubell’s Collection Museum in Miami, collection’s first-ever artist in residence, and Alone Together, its annual show featuring 31 artists. The Rubells collection was founded by Donald and Mera Rubell in 1964 in New York. He is a retired physician and she is a former teacher.
With 5,000 works and counting, it is one of the largest, privately owned collections of contemporary art in the world and has been located in Miami since 1993.
Oscar Murillo: work showcases a series of five large paintings Murillo made during a five-week summer residency at the collection. I saw this show and I was impressed whit the power and the visual impact of his works.

The canvases are a lively, and with his idea of mixing numbers and words, Murillo has put himself on top of the emerging artists. In his works you will find terms such as “mango,” “chorizo” and “yoga” for their social implications and associations. You see his works and you inevitable think and visualize the terms he is using.

After this big exhibition, Oscar opened an other one a few weeks ago in Carlos/Isikawa gallery in London.
Dinner at the members club? Yes, I’ll have a black Americano first pls (name of the exhibition) remain in the same register that Oscar is known for, but is also bringing some new important elements in his work, such as objects. He is using new forms and materials like concret, wood, cardboard, and an impressive floor of copper.
