Nicholas Swearer is a hands-on sculptor based in Thompson, CT, specializing in cast and fabricated metals. His diverse range of metal work encompasses both fantastical and socially-driven narratives, often featuring human or animal characters. With a studio foundry in Northeastern Connecticut, Swearer's installations explore the universal human condition and provoke thought-provoking questions about contemporary social issues.
From his encounters with the Catrina image in Mexico to his exploration of the relentless struggle for success in the Rat Race, Swearer's sculptures offer powerful visual representations of the human race and its interactions. His work also extends to abstract pieces, such as the symbolic Arbor sculpture, which represents the joining of two families. With a career spanning decades, Swearer's notable creations include the 40-foot-long iguana sculpture, Iggy, and the whimsical fantasy dragon, Liz, commissioned for a special wedding anniversary celebration.
