MUROS, 2020 - 2021
About Muros
During the 2020 – 2021 pandemic, the streets of Lima went quiet as the messages disappeared, the posting stopped and posters couldn't form their usual strata or be harvested from the streets. A parallel to how layers in geological strata would tell of volcanic eruptions or draughts. If his earlier works in the Muros series were colorful with an embodied micro cosmos of messages, his most recent works are made of mostly blank pages – the other side of the message – with subtle color variations on white that make the geometrical pre-Columbian-inspired relief patterns stand out.
