DAIN

One of the most influential street artists to emerge from New York, DAIN combines the visual language of graffiti with collaged old portraits of Hollywood glamour stars. Crossing genres and often working single pieces back and forth between the street and studio, DAIN combines wheat pasting, silk-screening, spray paint, collage, and acrylic. He views his work as a confrontation between the destructive gestures of graffiti and the femininity of his Hollywood subjects.

Dain has been exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Rome, Miami, New York City and included in the permanent collection of the Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art in Berlin, alongside artists such as Banksy. In 2018, the artist was commissioned for public mural projects in New York City by fashion brands Coach and Puma.
