About the Item
This painting is part of the Slow Down series, which began in 2021 and remains ongoing. It features a serene landscape with a palm tree, gentle waves, and a crescent moon. At the top of the painting, the words slow down are prominently displayed, forming a header that frames the imagery.
Higgins explores the interplay between text and image to convey a message and establish a reflective mood. The text draws from contemporary societal commentary, serving as a reminder to pause, appreciate the scenery, spend meaningful time with loved ones, or simply embrace moments of stillness. On a personal level, these words also act as autobiographical reflections for the artist, offering subtle wisdom and self-reminders.
The piece is painted with acrylics on a custom-made wood panel. Its neutral background is rendered in a muted greenish-grey tone, enhancing the overall calmness of the work.

By Robert Marchessault
Located in Montreal, Quebec
My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces.
Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance.
My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry.
There is nothing “new...
