David Zwirner presents Oscar Murillo’s first exhibition at the gallery in London, which includes new paintings and drawings as well as sculptural, sound, and film elements. The exhibition’s title, binary function, refers to the pairings that permeate Murillo’s multifaceted practice. For the artist, the notion of the binary is not oppositional; instead, these pairings work and play against one another to create a dialogue that exceeds individual works. Oscar Murillo "Binary Function" will be on view until November 20, 2015 at David Zwirner, 24 Grafton Street London. photographs by Flo Kohl
Lucas Price "Dumb Poetry" at Lazarides Rathbone in London
Lucas Price makes his debut appearance at Lazarides Rathbone with a major new solo exhibition entitled Dumb Poetry. Using a combination of photorealism, hard-edged abstraction and text, the London-based artist has created a new series of paintings, drawings and sculptures. The exhibition deconstructs the traditional still life and opens up an intuitive line of enquiry into the complex relationships between object and language. Price's latest paintings combine a series of loaded objects, including basketballs, tyres and fire extinguishers, alongside short bursts of open-ended language. From his earliest paintings the artist's work has incorporated the use of text and in these most recent works this idea is again brought into play alongside a series of harshly-lit sculptural forms. Lucas Price "Dumb Poetry" will be on view until September 10 at Lazarides, 11 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1HR.
