An alumnus of Skidmore College and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Johnny Swing has been creating art professionally for two decades. Swing bundles steel rods and swirls them together to accomplish the sinuous lines and dynamic curves of improbable pieces.

Although presently a New Englander, Swing spent the majority of his career as an artist in New York City's eclectic East Village in the 1980s. His obsessive furniture pieces can be found in the permanent collections of notable museums and art centers around the world.

Taking common, everyday materials and austerely re-purposing them, typically in a repetitive patterning, Swing’s studio has created unique examples of beautiful and functional sculpture. His contemporary furniture has been featured at the International Furniture Show at the Javits Center in New York; and his designs have been included in The Chair, a review of the most innovative designs of the past decades. His distinctive ‘Nickel Couch’ was featured on the cover of Arts and Antiques magazine.
