John Xceron was born in Isari, Greece in 1890 and started to paint at a very young age before coming to the U.S in 1904. He frequented the Corcoran Art School in Washington from 1910 until 1916 and then went to New York where he exhibited with the group of independent artists.
Xceron visited Paris in 1927 and stayed there during ten years taking part in exhibitions at the Salon des Surindpendants from 1931. He also exhibited his works in Barcelona in 1929 and had his first one-man exhibition in New York in 1935.
Turning to geometric abstract painting in Paris he belonged to Michel Seuphors Circle and Square group. Back in New York in 1937, he joined the American Abstract Artists Association founded by George L. K Morris.
Xceron had an important activity in the U.S producing well-structured works with geometric elements spontaneously assembled.
