Swav Jusis (swav)

Artist & Photographer Swav Jusis was born in Gdansk, Poland where his family fled from communism to live in England and Vienna before finally settling in the United States and currently lives in the New York Metro Area. He has been a Fine Art Photographer for over a decade both in the US and Europe with past work primarily focused on documentary photography related to events and people in the alternative NYC nightlife scene. This included the underground vampire, gothic, steampunk, industrial, cyber and fetish lifestyles.

Original works by Swav Jusis are found in the collections of art collectors worldwide, primarily consisting of pieces from previous exhibitions in New York and Europe done in 2000 and 2005. His new collection “Life Saturated” is being released in 2012 and is made up of 36 pieces which pushes the boundary of photography, combining it with color manipulation, to new and exciting limits allowing him to give a visual testimony in strikingly complex imagery. It explores the deeper side of color and contrast within individuals encountered upon the journey of his documentary photography based around the clubs and people related to the alternative nightlife scene.
