About the Item
This painting was constructed using a number of attached surfaces including canvas, muslin and plastic debris. Attaching strips of canvas allows me to recycle used material into new work along with other materials on the studio floor that would otherwise be thrown away. Creating surfaces out of used material and integrating these into various landscapes has been the focus of the work for some time now. In this painting, the bold orange sun burns bright over a beach with rough, energetic waters filled with bits of plastic and debris. I am interested in creating a landscape that is both beautiful and somewhat ruined at the same time. It is at the intersection of these two ideas that I find inspiration for my work, the sublime yet broken landscape.

Matt Higgins is an artist and art professor who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. He received his MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and BFA from West Chester University. His work is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. His various bodies of work focus on themes of abstraction, the landscape and text based paintings. His work can be viewed as a constant progression, as well as a cycle from one body of work to the next. He often times returns to existing themes or motifs with a fresh outlook after departing for periods of time. Growth and learning is a significant part of the artists practice and this continued openness and exploration is what keeps his work fresh and original from one body of work to the next, never settling for predictability or the mundane.
