Matt Higgins
Trap, Contemporary Abstract Painting by Matt Higgins

2023

About the Item

The artwork "Trap" evolved through multiple sessions, employing a diverse application of layered oil paint techniques such as brushwork, direct tube application, and blending with wax. The title derives from painted regions seemingly confined by the coarse outlines of the paint. The painting showcases a mix of vivid and muted colors, providing a distinct contrast. The textured surface of the piece reveals the intricate layering process. Executed on both the wall and a table in the artist's studio, the final result is influenced by both the straight-on perspective and the overhead view. 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.
