Matt Higgins
Coincidences, Contemporary Abstract Painting

2023

About the Item

Coincidence, by Philadelphia based painter Matt Higgins combines chance and intention into one finished painting. Layers of paint are worked on the surface of the canvas in various speeds and tempos with brushes and rubber squeegee tools to achieve a wide range of gestures and shapes. Moments of vigor and scraping of the paint are balanced by slowly painted, "filled in" areas that are left from the trails of the brush and paint scraping tools. This balance of chance and precision, slow and fast is what gives this painting life and energy. The off white canvas color paired with the black works perfectly in a wide range of interior spaces and settings. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is an artist and art professor who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. His work focuses on the use of abstract shapes and gestures that take influence from Abstract Expressionist painting, Minimalism and Zen Buddhism. He searches for a sense of balance and simplicity within his work as well as moments of chance and spontaneity throughout the working process. 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.

    By Paul Jenkins
    Located in London, GB
    Phenomena Spectrum Guardian by Paul Jenkins (1923 - 2012) Acrylic on canvas 76 x 101.5 cm (29 ⁷/₈ x 40 inches) Signed lower middle Paul Jenkins Executed in 1970 Provenance: Gallerie Iris Wazzau, Davos, Switzerland Private collection, Cologne, Germany Artist biography: Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...
