Description
Blue and yellow layers of graphite, iridescent pigments and polymer create a reflective surface that functions as an unfocused lens in this ethereal piece by James Kendall Higgins. Part of his current body of work, it probes into our perceptions, distorting the process of looking and seeing by obscuring the viewer’s reflection and any concealed image within. Based in San Diego, Higgins creates paintings and sculptures centering on the psychological effect of surface and abstraction.

Artist
James Kendall Higgins
James Kendall Higgins explores the psychological impact of surface and abstraction rooted in mid-20th century abstract painting. Higgins’ work comments on the relationship between looking and seeing, using materials like silver emulsion to build up surfaces and pigments that deliberately obscure the viewer’s reflection. His practice seeks to bridge gallery spaces with domestic interiors, creating thought-provoking pieces that engage the environment where they reside.
