Xavier Hart is an Auckland-based contemporary artist whose work bridges painting and sculpture. Through layered surfaces and textured forms, he blurs the boundary between two- and three-dimensional art, using colour to evoke mood and create immersive, tactile experiences.

Movement lies at the core of Xavier’s practice. Gesture, form, and materiality suggest motion even within static works, with paint sculpted, carved, and layered to reveal the traces of its own creation. Fluidity and structure interplay, giving his compositions rhythm and energy. Influenced by his travels, Xavier titles works after landscapes, cultures, and experiences that shape his journey, offering subtle narratives while leaving room for viewer interpretation. Through his distinctive approach, he invites audiences to see colour, texture, and form in a new light.
