Let Them Feel Pink, 2011-2012
Mixed media (wood, paint, epoxy, resin, collected objects)
Born in Puerto Rico, Carlos Betancourt has spent most of his artistic career working in Miami and has long been an important figure in the life of the city's art community. Let Them Feel Pink is in part a homage to the city and the people that make it a vibrant place to live. Betancourt says the work is "a table of my of memories." On the table there are the remnants of a great celebration and what is left behind are objects that evoke memories for the artist of friends and relations who were once gathered around.
Atop the pile is a great pelican with wings spread, a bird the artist uses to symbolize himself.
