Enrique Martínez Celaya

Enrique Martínez Celaya’s paintings, sculptures, photographs, and poetry show his consistent interest in the grey area between experience and its representation, as well as the relationship between fragmentation and wholeness. He 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 his installations, using objects and words of profound beauty and elegance, he has explored notions of symbolism, hermeticism, displacement, fragmentation, time, remembrance, morality and identity. This book includes essays and interviews from distinguished curators and art historians, and provides an opportunity for a deeper examination and understanding of a highly regarded artist.
