Curtis Santiago (born 1979, Edmonton, Canada) is a visual artist and dance-rock musician.
He left the city and the band in 2002 and moved to Vancouver to develop a solo career, and also worked as a club MC.
His work consists out of paintings, large scale installations and sculptures, and miniature scenes – dioramas – depicting memories from Santiago's upbringing in Caribbean-Canadian culture.
Dancing, party scenes, and nods to his musical career are recurring themes, often intertwined with (art) historical references.
[2] Santiago's work is part of the permanent collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem (New York, US).
