"Obstacle" is a painting created with acrylic paint on a custom wood panel. The neutral blue against the light tan background gives off a light shine without being overpowering or too reflective. The piece features strong figure-ground relationships, where the interplay between shapes and the background color achieves a balanced and harmonious space. The artist approached the work with confidence and assertiveness, resulting in a piece that is both simplistic and engaging. A central theme in Higgins's work is the artist's decision-making process—whether to stop or to continue adding elements. In this instance, he chose to exercise restraint, and that choice ultimately defined the success of the work.
The painting is signed on the back.
