I became aware of Oscar Munoz work a couple of years ago about the same time that I saw my first Christian Boltanski installations at Tate London. Both artists work have a melancholy sadness which I always find compelling and yet at the same time a little unnerving. Not surprisingly both artists draw on personal experience exploring themes of loss and memory.
Oscar Munoz: Biografias is currently running until 27th of March at Cornerhouse in Manchester.
There's still a little bit of time to catch this exhibition at the Ashmolean. Lovely drawings including some Aubrey Beardsley's and a cute little copy of La Bell Dame Sans Merci by John Keats wood block printed by the Eragny Press.
I love making things, drawing, reading and travelling to places that I've never been to before...going round the corner to see what's there. I am drawn like a moth to lights and lanterns, arthouse films, galleries, coffee shops, orchids, old black and white photographs, rooting around flea markets and jumble sales, newsprint and text, Brick Lane, Camden and Portobello Road.
