Artist Statement

Derek Douglas, known professionally as SNIPT, is a Las Vegas-born artist who has been creating pop culture mashups since 2012. The works of SNIPT attempt to visually appeal to the casual viewer while offering social commentary that tends to spark lively conversations. His unique works typically contain multiple layers that include hand collaged backgrounds, painted and stenciled elements, and a central image that is generally a composition of dozens of images that have been juxtaposed. The final result is a piece that looks familiar to the viewer, but is ultimately an image that has never previously existed. A SNIPT piece is the visual equivalent of a remixed, metaphor-heavy hip hop song.
