Galleri Andersson/Sandström Aktrisgränd 34 903 64 UMEÅ SWEDEN“A Wasted Journey, A Half-Finished Blaze” by Enrique Martinez Celaya, at Galleri Andersson/Sandström Umea, Sweden. -The exhibition “A Wasted Journey, A Half-Finished Blaze” showcases five new paintings and an impressive sculptural installation that fills the gallery in Umedalen. The main sculpture in this environment presents a bronze boy encrusted with large jewels crying onto a bed of pine needles. His tears carve a channel through the beds as they cascade from one bed to the next. When they reach the last bed, the merger stream falls on a stack of dishes and pots reminiscent of what one might find in the sink of any house. The stream of tears never stops. Martínez presents a metaphorical, mystical world which resists a narrative and is elusive and open to one’s own interpretation.
