Xayvier Andre’ Haughton is a Jamaican-born visual artist whose work explores Afrikan consciousness, spirituality, and the enduring presence of African cultural legacies within Caribbean identity. Raised in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, Jamaica, Haughton merges traditional and contemporary techniques to create powerful altarpieces and installations that reflect a creolized spiritual and aesthetic language.

​

Haughton holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York (2022) and earned his BFA from the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica (2019). His work has been recognized and featured in Hyperallergic magazine (March 11, 2017) and in the publication A Brief History of Western Art by Omari Ra.

​

He has exhibited widely, including at the Jamaica Biennial (2014, 2017), the National Visual Arts Exhibition hosted by the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), and in notable group shows such as Dark Matter at The CAGE Gallery, Spring/Break Art Show (2022), Eri Museum (2022), and the Fowler Kellogg Gallery at Pratt House (2023). In 2023, he was awarded a New York Council for the Arts Grant.

​

His recent residencies include Sculpture Space (2024) and Triangle Arts (2025), where he continues to expand his research into Blackness, ritual, and creolized space through installation and painting.
