About the Item
"Defenders" is an abstract oil painting by contemporary artist Matt Higgins, whose work often explores abstracted landscapes, a recurring theme throughout his career. Initially trained in plein air painting from observation, Higgins shifted his focus in grad school to studio painting, where materials, surface texture, collage, and composition took precedence over representational imagery. In this piece, Higgins employed a complex, layered process, building up oil paint, scraping it down, adding collaged canvas elements, and adjusting the composition over time. The resulting landscape is intentionally open to interpretation, with forms that might suggest trees, architectural elements, or even figures.
The painting is created on unstretched canvas and ships rolled in a tube. To hang it, a few small nails in the top and corners will support it without obstructing the artwork.
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 on painting in a variety of styles and bodies of work. His work is included in numerous private collections and has been included in a wide range of interior design projects including residential properties, corporations, and hotels.

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.
