“[Enrique Martínez] Celaya’s exhibition is filled with dualities. In the painting The Tunnel and The Light (For the Ones Who Hope to Come Out), the darker interior space of the cave, replete with a cluster of dangling and sharply delineated icicles, gives way to a misty field of spring flowers, implying a relationship between the known landscape with the more sacred but brutal topography of the artist’s own interior world. It’s tempting to read this work as an image of rebirth or redemption, yet like the exhibition’s title, The Hunt’s Will, Celaya posits the simultaneity of life and death. Perhaps the ‘hunt,’ i.e. the journey through life, is autonomous as though it were a viable and traceable phenomenon that acts upon us and propels us forward.” – Eve Wood
