About the Item
This painting uses an interplay of dark green, black, and negative space, forming abstract, gestural shapes that evoke a sense of rhythm and movement. The composition balances dense, sweeping brushstrokes with lighter, more spacious areas, creating a varied visual tempo.
The paint handling shows a blend of spontaneity and control. Some strokes appear rapid and expressive, suggesting quick, instinctive decisions, while others are more deliberate and carefully shaped. This variance in technique produces a sense of multiple time signatures at play—some marks pulse with urgency, while others linger with slower, meditative intent.
Matt Higgins b. 1987 is both an artist and an art professor based in Philadelphia, PA. He engages in a consistent studio practice, with a primary focus on painting across various bodies of work.

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.
