About Swipple

Swipple is a collaborative network of artists who exhibit artwork online through the Swipple.com website, an “island of lost toys” for artists, a flickering beacon located somewhere in the distant outskirts of the art-world proper.

Our curatorial direction reflects the wide ranging, though perhaps somewhat idiosyncratic, aesthetic tastes of our founder, artist and visionary historian Hank Swipple.

Swipple is committed to uncovering and presenting artwork from the vast pool of little known artists plugging away at the periphery of the art-world, but exhibits the artwork of emerging and mid-career artists as well.

The aesthetic direction is dictated much by chance, and of course nepotism, and while in that way it parallels the art-world, we hope that it does so in its own unique way. Visitors to the website are not required to have any background in the arts, and are welcome to make their own decisions about what they like. We suggest only that artists be taken as much as possible on their own terms.

If you have a question for us or would like to get in touch, you can email us at:
jason(at)swipple.com

We are always interested in discovering new art and artists, and encourage artists to contact us, and to send us links to their work online (no attachments or images please).

Thank for visiting!

Hank Swipple
