Matt Higgins
Adjacent Horizon, Contemporary Abstract Painting by Matt Higgins

2022

About the Item

Employing geometric structures and shapes inspired by the landscape, the title of this painting reflects the fusion of two painting styles: landscape and abstract. Coarse layers of oil paint are meticulously constructed on the surface, providing a glimpse into the artistic process. Over time, areas are scraped down and reconstructed, with the central focus being on the circle. Additional shapes disrupt the composition, suggesting mountain or landscape forms while maintaining a predominantly flat and abstract aesthetic. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is an artist and art professor who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. He maintains a regular studio practice in the Fishtown neighborhood focusing on painting in a variety of styles and bodies of work. His work is included in numerous private collections and has been included in a wide range of interior design projects including residential properties, corporations, and hotels.

  • 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...
