Matt Higgins
Summer By The Water, Contemporary Small Abstract Landscape Painting

2021

About the Item

In Summer by The Water, Higgins captures the essence of a summer landscape with a delightful blend of shapes and colors. The composition reveals a harmonious balance between flat planes of generously applied paint next to areas of more fluid and washy paint. The chosen colors are reminiscent of a sun-drenched summer day. The lush greens, tinged with hints of yellow, evoke the vitality of foliage and grasses bathed in sunlight. These vibrant greens create a refreshing contrast against the soothing blues that suggest a clear sky or a serene body of water. The use of geometric shapes in the painting adds a sense of structure and order to the natural scenery. The juxtaposition of these sharp edges against the softer, more organic forms, such as rolling hills or gentle waves, highlights the harmonious coexistence of nature and human influence. Overall, this painting conveys the joy and vibrancy of a summer landscape. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the scene, evoking memories of lazy days spent by the water or strolls through verdant meadows. Higgins has created a visual symphony that celebrates the beauty and allure of summertime.

  • Interference, Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    In this piece, the intense use of negative space highlights each individual marks character, weight and texture. The painting explores various types of mark making and paint application inspired by elements of the landscape painted in various thicknesses, intensities and with a variety of different tools. Each mark is calculated and responsive to the one that came before it, creating a cause and effect relationship across the surface of the canvas. Restraint is a key element of this new body of work from artist Matt Higgins and the option to go further is always there. However, the excitement and spontaneity of the piece would therefore be sacrificed. Done in one session of intense meditative focus, A Place We Can See depends upon the exact moment of creation...
