Simon Swingler

Simon’s art tackles topics of greed, revenge, and just the general strangeness of human nature. His latest series Smart?Phone investigates the impact these blinking, buzzing devices have on our awareness, and particularly the disconnection and dissociation they cause.

Simon’s art draws influence from his commercial practices of graphic design and illustration. He has designed many graphic identities including significant projects for Australia (as a tourism and business destination), and the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. He has also illustrated over 21 published books and exhibited in various illustration exhibitions.
