ENRIQUE MARTÍNEZ CELAYA
EL CIELO DE INVIERNO
Exhibition February – March 2012
We are pleased to announce the first solo
exhibition in Barcelona of Enrique
Martínez Celaya, El cielo
de invierno, in which we present recent work of the artist, large format
paintings and watercolors.
The selection of works that constitute the
exhibition relate to an imaginary linked to nature and the elements; cold, ice,
snow and also fire coexist with the human presence which in turn, makes its
appearance in the landscape. Images of calm and purity, or burnt landscapes
that reveal the underlying unsteadiness, figures of a boy travel around the
works, through his gaze he manages to reconstruct the representation of the
phenomena and the mysteries of nature.
Enrique Martínez Celaya defines himself as
a painter even though he has works on sculpture, photography, writing and also
video. His approach to painting attempts to restore, through the scientific
practice, his relation to observation, experience, conscience and the cognitive
processes. The painting of Enrique Martínez Celaya isn’t figurative in the
conventional sense, for from it a dialogue between what painting represents and
the physical reality of painting in itself is generated.
