This abstract painting was made with oil on canvas. The surface shows accumulated layers, with paint built up over time rather than applied in a single pass. The work was created with the canvas placed on the ground, where paint was poured directly onto it and then pushed and spread across the surface. The movement of the paint remains visible, with areas where colors meet, overlap, and shift as a result. Matt Higgins b. 1987 is both an artist and an art professor based in Philadelphia, PA.
