Painter, photographer, sculptor,
and poet, Martinez Celaya,
(born Cuba 1964) moves masterfully through materials as diverse as lucent
tar, wax, fresh flowers, paint, and words. He draws upon his Spanish youth,
his education in physics and art in |

|

|
|
|
New
York and California, and such influencial characters as his grandfather
and the artist to whom he was apprenticed, to create a body of work that
reconciles contradictory ideas and styles. With rare clarity and restraint
Martinez Celaya explores loss,
alienation, foreigness, beauty, and new ways to think about the art object
and the problem it raises. What emerges is a body of work radically concerned
with meaning. |

Loss
and its transcendence through consciousness is the pervasive theme in Unbroken
Poetry. Martinez Celaya's world
is revealed in an in-depth essay by San Francisco writer and curator Anne
Trueblood Brodzky. Drawing from the artist's sketchbooks, personal interviews
with the artist, and the works of Martinez
Celaya, Brodzky describes his impetus and methods in a conceptual volume
of exceptional beauty and voice. |
