Xavi Ceerre

Xavi Ceerre is an artist influenced by mid-20th-century European informalists who seeks the pursuit of a common and universally perceptible beauty and ultimate aesthetics for all human beings, regardless of their cultural background. To achieve this goal, he employs non-gestural artistic creation procedures, drawing inspiration from photographic works such as Martha Cooper’s from the 1970s in New York on children’s paintings (Streetplay), Brassai’s graffiti in 1930s Paris, or primitive murals as fundamental expressions of the inherent beauty in humanity before undergoing domestication by culture.

Xavi Ceerre lives in Barcelona and has developed much of his career in New York. His work is multidisciplinary but focuses on painting and urban art inspired by Hip Hop. Ceerre combines various techniques and materials that contribute to a strong naive character. When facing the canvas, he plays between the conscious and the subconscious, guided by impulses and sensations. He opts for abstract, sincere, and freely interpretable images, exploring the ultimate essence of human beauty before undergoing cultural domestication.
