About the Item
This artwork is an abstract acrylic painting on canvas, characterized by strong, interlocking shapes and a vivid, warm palette.
Large coral and peach-colored forms dominate the composition, applied in broad, confident strokes that reveal the texture of the canvas beneath. These warm shapes are contrasted by deep ultramarine blue areas that create a sense of depth and spatial tension. Smaller patches of orange, dark brown, and a single bright red mark add rhythm and punctuation throughout the piece.
The edges of the shapes often appear soft or frayed, where the acrylic paint thins and allows the weave of the canvas to show through, creating a tactile, layered effect. The overall structure feels dynamic and the architectural blocks of color lean, overlap, and frame one another.
The painting has a bold, modern presence, balancing expressive gesture with deliberate compositional clarity.

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.
