About the Item

This artwork was created through a process-driven approach, combining collaged fabrics and expressive paint strokes. The vibrant geometric forms, composed of textured oil paint, establish a harmonious yet dynamic equilibrium. Utilizing adhesive, various fabric pieces and mixed materials are affixed to the canvas, disrupting traditional brushwork and introducing a fresh surface and texture. Executed on the ground, and on the wall in different orientations, the painting undergoes a transformative journey, evolving until its ultimate resolution. An excellent addition to any interior, it injects a contemporary flair and human texture into the space. 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.

Florus, Bold Abstract Painting, Vibrant Contemporary Artwork, Expressionist Art
By Catherine Pennington-Meyer
Located in Deddington, GB
Florus is an original abstract painting by Catherine Pennington-Meyer. The title of this piece means ‘bright’ or ‘rich’ in Latin. A vibrant expressionist abstract full of energy. It will bring a splash of positivity and colour to any scheme. Discover more of Catherine Pennington-Meyer's original artwork with Wychwood Art online and in our Oxfordshire gallery. Catherine is an award-winning artist who currently lives and works near Munich, in Germany. Her work concentrates primarily on abstract expressionism. Catherine has participated in exhibitions throughout Europe and has quickly established a prestigious international collector base. Catherine says of her art: `I see my painting as a kind of language, translating what I feel or experience to those viewing it. I am innately drawn to create raw, emotive, expressionist pieces, mostly abstracts, which distil a subject down to its feeling. I don`t only want my art to be `beautiful` but for it to reach out and touch the person who is viewing it on an immediate, intuitive level. I want my paintings to speak to their audience in their own visceral language. I am influenced by nature, particularly the multifaceted nature of water, and memories of growing up in particularly beautiful landscapes in North Yorkshire and Scotland. I also find human psychology and science fascinating. But I see compositions everywhere, whether it be flowers in a park, the way smoke curls, books on a library shelf or a street market. Everything is made up of shapes and colours. The world is a constant source influences and inspiration.’ Over time, as her work has developed, she has been increasingly compelled towards abstraction, through which she feels able to communicate an energy which is untethered by the constraints of realism. She enjoys playing with light, depth and movement in her art to give it immediacy and to draw a viewer into the composition. Catherine also enjoys poetry, and her works occasionally have accompanying narratives. Catherine views visual and written art...
