The artist Dash Snow

  • US artist from New York City.
  • Was active as a graffiti artist in the 1990s.
  • Known for his Polaroids, in which he captured a nihilistic lifestyle.

Dashiell Snow was born in New York City on July 27, 1981. He grew up on the Upper West Side in Manhattan as part of a wealthy family of artists and art collectors. Snow got involved with drugs at an early age and spent two years in a penitentiary. After his release at 15, he joined the street art group IRAK, using the tags SACE and SACER.

At the same time he started shooting Polaroids. He mainly captured the party life of rich New York teenagers, documenting the nights he couldn't remember himself. His authentic shots of underage sexual acts, drug use, and lusty vandalism quickly made him a star of the New York underground scene.

From 2005 Snow became famous beyond that, exhibiting his Polaroids in public. He also devoted himself to collages, as in the series Fuck the Police, in which he smeared photographs of the front pages of American newspapers with his semen. Snow quickly advanced to become a successful »bad boy« of the art world, and in 2006 he was represented at the Whitney Biennial.

After the birth of his daughter in 2007, Snow, who was addicted to alcohol, cocaine, and heroin, attempted to redirect his uncompromising lifestyle. All attempts at withdrawal were unsuccessful. On July 13, 2009, Snow died of an overdose. Like Jean-Michel Basquiat, he belongs to Club 27, a list of artists and musicians who have died at the age of 27.

Der Künstler Dash Snow

  • US-amerikanischer Künstler aus New York City.
  • War in den 1990ern als Graffiti-Künstler aktiv.
  • Bekannt für seine Polaroids, in denen er einen nihilistischen Lebensstil festhielt.

Dashiell Snow wurde am 27. Juli 1981 in New York City geboren. Er wuchs in der Upper West Side in Manhattan als Teil einer reichen Künstler- und Kunstsammlerfamilie auf. Snow kam früh mit Drogen in Kontakt und verbrachte zwei Jahre in einer Strafanstalt. Nach seiner Entlassung mit 15 Jahren schloss er sich der Street Art Gruppe IRAK an und nutzte die Tags SACE und SACER.

Parallel dazu begann er damit, Polaroids zu schießen. Er hielt hauptsächlich das Partyleben von reichen New Yorker Teenagern fest und dokumentierte so die Nächte, an die er sich selbst nicht mehr erinnern konnte. Seine authentischen Aufnahmen von sexuellen Handlungen Minderjähriger, Drogenkonsum und lustvollem Vandalismus machten ihn schnell zum Star der New Yorker Underground-Szene.

Ab 2005 wurde Snow darüber hinaus berühmt, indem er seine Polaroids öffentlich ausstellte. Er widmete sich auch Collagen wie in der Serie Fuck the Police, in der er Fotografien von Titelseiten amerikanischer Zeitungen mit seinem Sperma beschmierte. Snow avancierte schnell zum erfolgreichen »Bad Boy« der Kunstwelt, 2006 war er auf der Whitney Biennale vertreten.

Nach der Geburt seiner Tochter im Jahr 2007 versuchte Snow, der alkohol-, kokain- und heroinabhängig war, seinen kompromisslosen Lebensstil in neue Bahnen zu lenken. Sämtliche Entzugsversuche blieben erfolglos. Am 13. Juli 2009 verstarb Snow an einer Überdosis. Wie Jean-Michel Basquiat zählt er zum Club 27, eine Liste 27-jährig verstorbener Kunstschaffender und Musizierender.
