Matt Higgins
Euphoria In Bloom, Contemporary Gestural Abstract Painting

2025

About the Item

This painting is a bold and expressive abstract composition created with a combination of oil and acrylic on canvas. It gives off vibrant energy, primarily featuring a palette of pastel pinks and bright yellows, accented with strokes of blue, black, and white. The lines are thick, gestural, and spontaneous, often looping and intersecting in a chaotic yet rhythmic pattern. Organic and geometric forms coexist within the piece—there are petal-like shapes, ovals, triangles, and layered textures that evoke a sense of both playfulness and urgency. The surface has a dynamic, textural richness, where the oil paint adds depth and sheen while the acrylic provides sharper contrast. Overall, the work radiates excitement and movement, as though capturing the emotional electricity of a fleeting moment. It invites viewers to explore its vivid layers and shifting contours with a sense of curiosity and delight. 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.
