Aguinaldo's Green Circulation series draws inspiration from his earlier Linear works. In the case of Green Circulation #12, it underscores the primary objective of this series, which is to investigate the inherent connection between the color green and the various shades and levels of illumination associated with it through color field painting. In the center of the artwork, you'll find various transitions from white, blue, then to different shades of green. These components are complemented by two areas of emerald green. Aguinaldo's presentation of two versions of the same color, with the central area acting as a spectrum and the flanking sides as solid masses, invites us to consider the visual experience, suggesting that singular elements are best appreciated when juxtaposed with their opposites.
\nLee Aguinaldo's artworks often exhibit a sense of minimalism and a distinct approach to color and paint quality. Aguinaldo perceives color as a tangible and self-sufficient presence, and when arranged in flat compositions, it prompts the viewer to engage in an objective and analytical exploration. He places significant emphasis on erasing brushwork and any visible signs of handling, striving for a completely smooth and uniform layer of pigment that upholds the picture's integrity. Aguinaldo doesn't attempt to create anything beyond the essential elements of picture space. The geometric precision of the frame, with its right angles, imparts order and a deliberate rationality. For Lee Aguinaldo, an overly complex spatial structure, just like excessive use of color, decoration, or narrative, could diminish the impact of the artwork itself. Thus by sticking to a singular cohesive palette, we are able to absorb and ultimately enjoy it in its pure simplicity. (Jed Daya)
