Delving into questions surrounding migration and memory, Personal Mythologies presents works by two Montreal-based artists, Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo and Marigold Santos.  Characterized by a hybridized visual aesthetic, their art practices collectively reference everything from religious iconographies, storybook illustrations, children’s games, textiles, and medieval bestiaries to political propaganda posters, medical drawings, tattoos, and horror films.  Melding elements of these disparate sources, the artists create colourful and complex imagined worlds, each with their own specific visual vocabulary and internal logic.
