The October Cycle, California painter Enrique Martínez Celaya's most recent work, unapologetically challenges the postmodern denial of meaning. Proactive and strong, Celaya's paintings affirm life and the individual self, rather than deconstructing them. Published in conjunction with Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery/University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where Celaya's traveling exhibition appeared from Nov 21 2003–Jan 26 2004.
