Known for his heavy abstracts that lay focus on technique, gradients and geometry, Lee Aguinaldo’s oeuvre is mostly a strong collection of various styles and approaches to abstraction. Although most notably known as a heavy abstractionist, he has also created some works that venture into the figurative. Although done in transfer and pencil, in this set of works from the early 80s we see a very different Aguinaldo than we are accustomed to — still experimental with his approach, yet towards a very different direction. The play on nostalgia and memory clearly in use, Aguinaldo recreates and immortalizes the fleeting past — giving us a peek into not only the artist’s past, but his consciousness as well.
