ABOUT THE WORK

The eloquent and rhythmic approach of abstract expressionist Edwin WIlwayco puts his name among the acclaimed artists of his genre. His dynamic brushwork allowed him to create chromatic and textured canvases fueled by emotions — as observed in the lot at hand. The 26th in his series titled Fractals, this painting means to deal with shapes and patterns, as suggested by the definition of its word: a curve or geometric form with the same statistical character as the whole. “Edwin Wilwayco has taken a most dramatic shift in his abstract expressionism with his new “Fractals” series of paintings,” a Lifestyle Inquirer article noted. “The result is an intriguing series of works that problematizes representation and gives art aficionados who champion his work an inkling on his creative process and the current state of his artistic mind.” In 2014, the year this piece was created, Wilwayco held a show titled “Recalibration” at the Momentous Arts in Singapore. Then, in 2015, he exhibited “Fractals” at the Altro Mondo in Makati, Philippines. (P.I.R.)
