An ice skater about to leap, a person’s intense confrontation with theirself in a mirror, another watching a boat sink. In Enrique Martínez Celaya’s exhibition of new work at the Baldwin Gallery in Aspen, the artist scrutinizes these pivotal moments and turning points.
The only witnesses to these flashpoints in this work are the natural world and starry night skies.
