About the Item
This painting combines organic shapes with gestural brushwork that suggests the human form. Executed in oil on canvas, it reveals the textured grit of the artist’s process and the layered history of each mark. The open contour lines lend strength and a sense of spaciousness to the piece, avoiding overworked areas and emphasizing an economy of marks and shapes. The yellow-white hue adds a subtle glow, while the richly textured areas offer rewarding details for the viewer up close. Created intermittently over several months, this painting captures layers of painted moments, each suspended in time and space.
The painting can be oriented both horizontally and vertically and is signed on the back.

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.

In the middle of the road
By Dana Frankfort
Located in Houston, TX
Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
