About the Item
This painting evolved over several months, undergoing numerous changes and iterations throughout its creation. Like many of the artist's oil paintings, it was allowed to rest at various stages before completion. Rendered with oil paint and oil sticks on canvas, the vibrant colors stand out dramatically against the deep black background. The textured surface, enriched by the interplay of oil paint and oil sticks, feels alive and brimming with energy. Exploring a recurring motif of plant or organic shapes, Higgins abstracts these forms into celestial, plant-like species decorated with patterns and lines. The composition's energy flows upward, with the plants seemingly growing or reaching.
This painting is signed on the back.
