Oscar Murillo (1986, La Paila. Lives in London) has developed a multifaceted and challenging practice that spans painting, collaborative projects, video, sound, and installation. Through each body of work, he probes ideas of collectivity and shared culture, demonstrating a commitment to the power of material presence alongside complex meditations on contemporary society. He has exhibited at major institutions and events such as the Tate Modern (London), Aspen Art Museum, the Venice Biennale, the Sharjah Biennial, and the Abu Dhabi Public Art Biennial. He received his MFA from the Royal College of Art, won the Turner Prize in 2019 (shared), and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Westminster.
