Matt Higgins
Breeze, Contemporary Abstract Painting

2025

About the Item

This painting was created using a combination of gestural mark-making with oil crayon and blue vinyl paint on canvas. The expressive lines draw inspiration from both graffiti tagging and modernist painting traditions. The dynamic energy of the marks, paired with the fluid, sweeping motions of blue paint, evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity—qualities that give the work its fitting title, Breeze. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is both an artist and an art professor based in Philadelphia, PA. He engages in a consistent studio practice, with a primary focus on painting across various bodies of work. He received his BFA from West Chester University in 2011 and his MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2017. As well as maintaining a regular studio practice, he teaches at a few schools in the area including Drexel University, Delaware County Community College and Moore College of Art and Design. His art is included in numerous private collections and has been featured in a diverse range of interior design projects, spanning residential properties, corporations, and hotels. Both his home and studio are located in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, where he lives with his wife and son.
