Matt Higgins
InThree, Contemporary Abstract Painting

2023

About the Item

InThree gets its name from jazz improvisation and musical timing. This painting was created using three different mediums oil stick, acrylic paint, and collaged material. The actions taken to create the piece were also executed in three different types of mark-making: geometric hard-edged painting, gestural drawing, and collage. Created with spontaneity and improvisation, the moments in this painting were a response to the initial piece of cut canvas attached to the top right corner of the painting. The rest relied on intuition, moments of chance, and improvised mark-making. The result is an energetic, high-contrast painting that brings both balance and excitement to the viewer. 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.

  • Interference, Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    In this piece, the intense use of negative space highlights each individual marks character, weight and texture. The painting explores various types of mark making and paint application inspired by elements of the landscape painted in various thicknesses, intensities and with a variety of different tools. Each mark is calculated and responsive to the one that came before it, creating a cause and effect relationship across the surface of the canvas. Restraint is a key element of this new body of work from artist Matt Higgins and the option to go further is always there. However, the excitement and spontaneity of the piece would therefore be sacrificed. Done in one session of intense meditative focus, A Place We Can See depends upon the exact moment of creation...
