Opening Thursday, October 2nd:
For our October/November solo exhibition, we are proud to present Ancestral Download by our friend Rayos Magos. This new body of paintings–over a year in the making–extends Rayos’ exploration of symbolism, from Mesoamerican glyphs to brands tied to the U.S. and Mexico, adds another step in his lifelong journey of reclaiming identity. The show show also marks a farewell send-off, as Rayos heads to Toronto to begin the next chapter of his life and art.
Ancestral Download opens on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025, from 6-9pm, and will be on view until Saturday, November 15th. For any and all inquiries, please email us at mothbellygallery@gmail.com
