"In a quadtych installation of wall-sized paintings, Castillo seamlessly appropriates Technicolor imagery and characters from the classic animation studios Van Beuren and Walt Disney, notably from the Silly Symphony series produced in the 1930s. Through a process of collaging collected images, mixing backgrounds and comic characters to create new compositions and situations, Castillo reconstructs the given narratives like a puzzle, to formulate his distinctive style of storytelling with a punch line. Castillo adds to the meaning of each scene with an ongoing theme of resistance. 'The subjects are fighting back,' he says."
