Enrique Martínez Celaya

Charles Merewether

4/5 ( ratings)

Enrique Martínez Celaya's paintings, sculptures, photographs and poetry betray a consistent interest in the gray area between experience and its representation, as well as the relationship between fragmentation and wholeness. Martínez Celaya has examined the nature of the art objects he presents, as well as the possibilities of visual media and the limitations-perhaps inadequacy-of representation itself. In installations, objects and words of profound beauty and elegance, he has explored notions of symbolism, hermeticism, displacement, fragmentation, time, remembrance, mortality and identity. Including essays and interviews by distinguished curators and art historians, this monograph provides an opportunity for a fuller examination and deeper understanding of this highly regarded young artist. This monograph is published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by The Contemporary Museum, Hawaii and travelling to The Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach and the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston.
