Ahead of his exhibition at our London gallery this May, Enrique Martínez Celaya discusses the importance of place and belonging in his work.
The Cuban-born artist talks about the isolation felt by islanders, the ever-present sense of the sea, and the necessary distraction provided by ‘myths and charm’. A multidisciplinarian, Martínez Celaya explains his connection to the literary tradition, his publishing venture, and the impact of teaching on his practice.
The Mariner's Meadow opens at Blain|Southern London on 23 May 2019.
