About the Item

Enrique Martínez Celaya La gran marcha (The Great March), 2022 Ink and watercolor on paper and ink print, with childhood pastel drawing by the artist 49 1/2 x 39 1/2 inches 125.7 x 100.3 cm Signed, titled and dated (lower left recto) -- A widely celebrated artist, author, and former physicist, Enrique Martínez Celaya’s work is characterized by an allusive complexity, emotional presence and intellectual vigor. His latest paintings and works on paper explore, as he says, “the foreigner’s dual longing for a future that can redeem the dislocation of the past and a present that can provide a sense of belonging.” His paintings, sculptures, and installations are a deep consideration of identity, memory, myth, and folklore, as it opens connections between art, literature, philosophy, and science. Central to his practice is the idea that art should not purely be a cultural pursuit, but also an ethical effort that turns thinking into action in order to better understand and engage with the world and our roles in it. Leah Ollman writes, “The maps appearing in these paintings by Enrique Martínez Celaya conjure the exoskeleton that a geographical site provides, the shell or shelter supporting life’s vulnerable flesh. These maps, however, also read as the opposite: as internal structures, networks of arteries channeling vital fluids — blood, sap, water. Friction between conditions that seem mutually exclusive — exteriority/interiority, vastness/intimacy, selfhood/otherness — thrums constantly in Martínez Celaya’s work.” Enrique Martínez Celaya (b. 1964) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. His solo exhibitions include the Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY; the Monterey Museum of Art, Monterey, CA; The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA; Galerie Judin, Berlin, Germany; Baldwin Gallery, Aspen, CO; Galería Casado Santapau, Madrid, Spain; Blain Southern, London, United Kingdom; Detrás del Muro, Havana, Cuba; Galleri Andersson/Sandström, Stockholm, Sweden; The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., among others.
