…Mixing personal references of Latin American conviviality with visual and social patterns of globalised society, Murillo’s performance generates tension where individual and cultural identities, including language, are questioned. Murillo’s performances, paintings, videos and installations utilise opposites to explore commonality. Using vocabulary from everyday advertising in his canvases, he explores the functionality of displaced and reconfigured words, recalling a 1960s Neo-Concrete approach to language.
