Selected by Laura Hoptman

 

OSCAR MURILLO (b. 1986, La Paila, Colombia) has developed a multifaceted and challenging practice that spans painting, collaborative projects, video, sound and installation. Through each body of work, the artist probes ideas of collectivity and shared culture, demonstrating a commitment to the power of material presence alongside complex meditations on contemporary society. He received his MFA from the Royal College of Art in 2012, in 2019 he was one of four artists to collectively win the prestigious Turner Prize, and in 2023 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, the University of Westminster.
