Daniel Lind-Ramos: Afro-Puerto Rican painter & sculptor using recycled materials to explore spirituality & Caribbean identity. Whitney Fellow, MacArthur recipient.
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (San Juan, United States of America)
Explore Puerto Rican contemporary art at Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (MAC), housed in a beautifully restored Rafael M. Labra Building. Discover groundbreaking exhibitions & artists reflecting regional identity.
In his work, Lind Ramos often explores the links between Loíza, a historically Black town in Puerto Rico, and the African diaspora throughout the Antilles as experienced through carnival characters. Trained as a painter and draughtsman, he began incorporating three-dimensional objects into his canvases in the late 1990s and now creates mostly large-scale installations, assemblages, and videos. The materials he uses, including dried coconuts and palm tree refuse, can be found in the area around his studio in Loíza. His assemblage sculptures often honor construction workers, musicians, cooks, and artisans through the inclusion of their tools, some of which also happen to be important symbols in Afro-Caribbean religions and traditions.
