About the Item

Glacier stands as a commanding landscape artwork crafted using oil on intricately assembled and torn canvas. Higgins navigates a challenging journey of trial and error, encountering twists and turns, frustrations, failures, and eventual triumphs throughout the creation of his paintings. This particular piece encompasses all these elements, culminating in a final result achieved after months of dedicated work. As part of Higgins's broader collection focusing on landscapes against stark black backgrounds, featuring ambiguous scenes from nature, Glacier maintains a consistent theme. It exhibits a high-contrast color palette, expressive gestural mark-making, and a skillful rendering of forms derived from the natural landscape. The artist's ongoing interest in the natural world, abstraction, process, and materials converges in these works. Noteworthy within his current collection, Glacier emerges as a standout painting, commanding attention with its imposing presence. Its dramatic subject matter, intense color palette, and heavily textured surface contribute to the overall impact of this striking piece. 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 primarily on abstract styles of painting but sometimes dabbling in text based paintings, landscapes or other genres of painting. His work is included in numerous private collections and has been included in wide range of interior design projects including residential properties, corporations and hotels.
