Sweler is known for creating vibrant, pop-culture-infused works, including spray paint and acrylic pieces on canvas. His artistic focus is on characters and small creatures that contain a backstory within each painting.
In this body of work, the critters are dreaming of being someplace else, somebody else, or in a better time. In their current surroundings of square panels, some mischievous behaviour is unavoidable.
Up next.
Working across painting and illustration, Gwaxng explores suppressed emotion and unspoken language shaped by social expectations, focusing on the tension that exists beneath outward calm and composure.
These feelings surface through a recurring “monster” persona—a symbol of both destruction and release—representing emotions that can no longer be contained. Through repetition and transformation, the exhibition places personal inner experience within a wider social context.
