Room 19 | Murillo – Muñoz

Getting beyond conventions

Murillo captures the ecstasy of this standing Saint Adelelmus by tinkering with the volume, weight and scale until achieving the monumentality and artistic solidity of a wooden carving, which he tempers with minimal brushstrokes in black and tar. With the attention of an entomologist, Muñoz experiments, wood on wood, with the textures and inert corporeality of slats and woodchips which he uses to express his attachment to the land and to challenge us about the boundaries of painting.
