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. The geometric shapes and vibrant colors that converge in an orchestrated manner are a characteristic of his 2016 series titled Circles, On and On. The 19th in his series, this painting explores how circles bring out a sense of safety and order. In describing his Circle pieces, art critic Josephine Fatima Martins notes: “Always attempting to find balance, he bravely confronts and examines artificial and natural constructs as his main theme; this time, using the circle motif, as metaphor, with its myriad symbolistic earth and sky-bound meanings to guide and project questions and engage in dialogue about concerns outside of painting and art.” (P.I.R.)
