In his manifestation paintings, Murillo mines the many ways in which ideas, words, and even everyday items are displaced, circulated, and increasingly intermingled. While earlier manifestation paintings foregrounded the use of black oil stick, here flashes of brightly colored pigments peek out from beneath, forming unexpected kaleidoscopic gradients. The end result is a composition whose chaotic surface seems to break free from the picture plane itself in bursts of unbounded vivacity.
