Speaking of his series of twisted forms, Johnny Swing says he gets lost in the pieces ‘the way one gets lost watching fire or waves breaking on the beach’. His knot sculptures capture this, each one cast from copper – a Swing signature – or hot rolled steel. With these works, Swing highlights his mastery in metalwork, as he manages to make the solid sculptures appear soft and malleable, like yarn.

Meet the Maker:
Johnny Swing
Since 1993, Johnny Swing has been making coin furniture – the first being a penny chair cast in the style of Italian-American artist Harry Bertoia. The master welder creates his sculptures by first carving the shape into styrofoam, then casting a negative mould in concrete to form the template for the coin-covered surface. Each piece is then finished through thousands of welds.
The Artist Studio is an exclusive curation of collectible artworks from global artists, specially selected by New York-based design gallery R & Company. Come visit us by appointment only at 82 Franklin Street Gallery in New York from October 31-December 21, 2024.
