Xavier Baxter’s Carnage at The Hole presents fourteen visceral oil paintings marked by slashing strokes, layered destruction, and raw energy. Figures emerge from chaotic surfaces in works that feel like emotional battlegrounds. A site-specific installation recreates a cardboard box Baxter once lived in, using painted scraps from his studio floor. The exhibition captures a return to fearless creation, channeling instinct, memory, and unfiltered expression.
