Edwin Wilwayco’s “Octo Gravitas” is bestowed as an intelligently schemed ignition of colors using a substrate of designs and patterns as a pedestal wherein the works veer heavily on the notion of spontaneity with a firm cynosure on the predominant figures of eight in the chosen canvases reflecting the serendipitous figure eight where it is embellished with his trademark bristling brushstrokes against the substrate of an ornamental rococo design, endowing the works with an “all-overness” of countenance that conjure a sense of balance amidst the thick and heavy swabs of color. Gravitas on the other hand, helps emphasize the weight and importance of the figure in the entire composition of the pieces. The “Octo Gravitas” truly succeeds in assimilating a sense of mystery to the prevailing stage of the artworks’ backgrounds - lively and applauding colors.
