Curtis Talwst Santiago | Martina Simeti

"Martina Simeti is pleased to present “A man not in the mood for salsa”, Curtis Talwst Santiago’s second exhibition with the gallery.

“All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites”. [Marc Chagall]

In this show, the artist proposes a new collection of drawings and paintings, complemented by a series of dioramas and objects. Memory, ancestry, and diasporic imagination are intertwined in a joyful and playful manner. Central to Santiago’s oeuvre is the idea of entanglements shaping the consciousness of the postcolonial condition. Singer and musician he reconnects with music as part of an identity that is transmitted from one generation to the next."
