James Kendall Higgins，生于1957年，是一位圣地亚哥艺术家，他的绘画和雕塑实践以表面和抽象的心理影响为中心。他目前的作品根植于20世纪中期的抽象绘画语汇，探索看与被看之间的微妙关系，采用银乳剂等材料来堆积表面和颜料，同时模糊观众的反射。
James Kendall Higgins (b.1957) is a San Diego-based artist whose painting and sculptural practice centers on the psychological affect of surface and abstraction. Rooted in the vocabulary of mid-20th century abstract painting, his current body of work explores the tenuous relationship between looking and seeing, employing materials like silver emulsion to build up surface and pigment while obfuscating the viewer’s reflection.
Higgins曾在弗吉尼亚联邦大学学习美术与设计，并在弗吉尼亚美术博物馆完成了奖学金课程。他的作品曾在艺术场所、商业展厅展出，他的委托作品被许多私人和公司收藏。
Higgins studied Fine Art and Design at Virginia Commonwealth University and completed a fellowship at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His work has been shown in art venues, commercial showrooms, and his commissioned work is held in numerous private and corporate collections.
Higgins发现大自然是更新和反思的喘息之地。寂静塑造了作品。观众发现这种体验在完美的不完美中变得可见。Higgins的作品层层递进，通过材料打造出一种人与人之间的联系。Higgins的实践旨在将画廊和博物馆空间的白色立方体与家庭室内空间架起一座桥梁：开发出具有话语权的作品，参与并对其所处的环境做出反应。
Higgins finds nature as a reprieve for renewal and reflection. Stillness shapes the work. The viewer finds this experience made visible in perfect imperfections. Higgins builds layers, crafting a human connection through the material. Higgins’s practice seeks to bridge the white cube of gallery and museumspaces with domestic interiors: developing discursive works that engage and react to the environments within which they reside.
