Elevator ARI is proud to present Fake gods, Fake monsters, Fake myths, a solo exhibition by Swerve.
This collection of paintings—spanning new and earlier works—creates a personal mythology of colour, concept, and contradiction. Drawing from decades of experience in commercial design, music, and community arts, Swerve explores the search for identity across the blurred boundaries of visual communication, fine art expression, and lived experience.
Rooted in a deep DIY ethos and an irreverent approach to creative process, Swerve’s work trades technical precision for conceptual intensity. The result is a body of paintings that embrace imperfection, symbolism, and humour while probing what’s real, what’s performed, and what’s inherited.
From fake gods to false monsters, each work is a playful act of self-examination—an ongoing negotiation between authenticity and artifice, commercial structure and creative freedom.
