Xavier Schipani, is a visual artist and trans-activist here in Austin Texas by way of DC whose work is centered around questions that contemplate gender identity, proof of existence, the transformative power of representation, and the emotional resonance of his experience as a transman. The connection between himself, his community and world surrounding it all, is a documentation of change and our ability to expand our collective view by truly offering space for all stories to be told.
He studied painting and illustration at Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore and the Center of Arts in Culture, AIX en Provence. His work has been exhibited in North America and Europe and is held in the collection of the McNay Museum in San Antonio, with public works in Houston and Austin, TX. In 2022 he created a large scale digital, site specific installation in Times Square on view for the month of June, commissioned by Todd Snyder. He also released his second collaboration with Nike, which included a SB Dunk shoe designed completely by him in celebration of Trans Awareness Week. He is currently living and working in Austin where his work continues to be enjoyed publicly and privately.
