Acclaimed as one of Latin America’s most significant living artists, Oscar Muñoz alludes to 50 years of political and social turmoil in his native Colombia in this his first Australian solo exhibition. Described by the prestigious UK magazine Apollo as ‘beautiful and mysterious, little miracles and apparitions’ Muñoz’s art raises questions about the nature of illusion, association and memory.

Mirror Image highlights six of Muñoz’s most compelling and seductive works – encompassing video installation, portraiture, drawing, painting and performance. Surprising and subtle, Muñoz’s work possesses a transcendental quality that has transfixed audiences around the world.
