Xavier Baxter ( @baxterxavi )

In getting to work alongside Xavier during his stint at the bridgehampton residency co-hosted by myself and @mackartfoundation , we discussed his work, my work, and painting in general. 

While thinking about the curation for REDLINE, two of racing’s elements I was most interested in were risk and commitment. 

In our discussions, commitment was a frequent topic. Being committed, and even aggressive towards the canvas was clearly defined as a vector for better marks and moments. 

Getting to see Xavier work, and taking some notes alongside him in the studio revealed the importances he places on risk and comment, acting intuitively and committing to ideas; marks, colors, and composition in a swift and decisive way. Needless to say this fit right in line with REDLINE’s curatorial premise. 

It’s been a pleasure and a joy to work with such a talented guy and make such fast friends. A big thank you to @chrisjamisonmack for being a most fun and serious patron of the arts, and putting us together. Looking forward to more work alongside @mackartfoundation !

…..

In Xavier’s words:

“The summer in the Hamptons was such a fun experience getting to know and work alongside Joey, to spend time in a completely new studio and environment, and be part of something that is genuinely exciting. The show brought together so much energy and great people all pulling together in a special way. The opening was a special night, It’s really nice to see Joey creating something fresh and bringing new energy and life to the art scene there.

Doing a month-long residency gave me a chance to slow down, work differently, and find some new inspiration along the way. A really good change of pace, and a great summer to be part of!

Really looking forward to what’s to come!

Lots of love @joey.joski @chrisjamisonmack @jacklfarrell @mackartfoundation
