Xavier Hart is an Auckland-based contemporary artist whose practice explores the intersection of painting and sculpture. Working across various media, he shapes the surface of his works, building layers of texture and depth that blur the line between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. His use of pure colour evokes mood and emotion, creating pieces that feel both physical and immersive.
At the heart of Xavier’s work is an exploration of movement—how gesture, form, and materiality can suggest motion even within a static medium. His process is one of sculpting paint, carving into layers, and allowing each work to hold traces of its own making. The interplay of fluidity and structure results in compositions that seem to shift and transform, capturing a sense of energy and rhythm. Inspired by his travels, Xavier’s titles reference the landscapes, cultures, and experiences that have shaped his artistic journey. These names offer subtle entry points into the work, hinting at personal narratives while leaving space for the viewer’s own interpretation. Through his distinctive approach, Xavier reimagines the painted surface, inviting us to see colour, texture, and form in a new light. |
