Curtis Talwst Santiago: Worlds, Worlds, Worlds

Curtis Talwst Santiago’s artworks are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Since 2012, this Trinidadian Canadian artist has developed an intricate and complex body of work where inherited imagination meets cultural critique in compelling miniature sculptures. The exhibition features dioramas from Santiago’s Infinity Series. These intimate scenes are meticulously crafted from found and manipulated materials and housed in reclaimed jewelry boxes. His miniature worlds captivate viewers with stories about the diaspora while subverting classical European portraiture. contemporarycalgary.com
