Dash Snow was an American multidisciplinary artist born in New York in 1981. With his charismatic personality and spontaneous output, he became a pivotal figure in downtown culture from a young age, embodying its creative and subversive spirit. Writing graffiti prolifically as SACE, he was a member of the world famous IRAK crew.
Snow’s gallery work would prove similarly influential. Intent on immortalizing fleeting moments in the lives of he and his friends, he took a prodigious number of photographs that have been exhibited and published worldwide. In addition to photos, installations, zines and video, Snow developed a distinctive collage style that splattered tabloid clippings with bodily fluids and glitter. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 27.
