Lot description

Brown Circulation No. 2 signed and dated July 14, 1975 (verso) aquatec (acrylic) 24" x 24" (61 cm x 61 cm) PROPERTY FROM THE DOÑA NENE QUIMSON COLLECTION Aguinaldo’s Circulation series is often seen as the logical evolution of his earlier Linear works. This piece, titled Brown Circulation #2, emphasizes the core purpose of the titular series; which is to explore the inherent relationship between the color brown and the different hues and levels of lumination often linked to it though a color field painting. At the very center of the piece are various iterations of blue painted in a spectrum. These elements are then supplemented by two distinctly brown spaces. By presenting two iterations of the same color, with the center acting as a spectrum, and its flanking sides acting as solid mass, Aguinaldo presents us with the reality of the visual experience; effectively suggesting that singular elements are often only fully appreciated when presented alongside their opposites. This piece emphasizes the often understanded yet revolutionary genius inherent to the practice of Lee Aguinaldo.
