Biography

Xavier Hart is a contemporary New Zealand artist known for his dynamic and expressive artwork. With years of experience working across various media, he creates bold, textured works with striking visual impact.

The core of Xavier's artistic philosophy lies in the exploration of movement - the idea that even within a fixed medium, motion can be both suggested and preserved. Each piece possesses a certain duality, with fluidity and stillness coexisting in harmony, creating a sense of ongoing transformation. ​

 

Xavier’s works are more than just visual experiences; they are deeply personal narratives. Inspired by his extensive travels, the titles of his works reflect the places he has visited, allowing viewers a glimpse into the artist’s journey and the emotions evoked by the landscapes, cultures, and experiences he’s encountered. These titles serve as a bridge, connecting the viewer to the diverse and ever-changing world that shapes Xavier’s artistic vision.

 

His ability to evoke motion on the static canvas makes his work not only visually compelling but also deeply resonant on an emotional level, inviting viewers to connect with his personal journey and the world around them. View my work at Black Door Gallery in Parnell, Auckland.
