Max Snow Interview

Hillbilly Magazine talk exclusively to artist Max Snow “about dark forces, brawling with meatheads, his haunting aesthetic and puppies and rainbows?”

Hillbilly : Your work deals with the darker sides and forces of our nature. Do you think that is a manifestation of personal experiences, grievances or is it something that you have always gravitated to perhaps out of curiosity?

Max Snow : I probably exist in a different realm than most people but I think it is undeniable that ‘the darker sides and forces of our nature’ are much more interesting to study than what creates a rainbow, for example. Everyone is different though I suppose, and I’m sure some people like to insulate themselves and refuse to believe in the existence of, lets call it the “dark side”… maybe its simply that I take different drugs than they do. I’m also a pretty cold-hearted son of a bitch; Byron is more eloquent “Bereft of tears I inward turned to stone.” Pretty pictures of puppies and landscapes do not move me. I also find that things that are initially beautiful do not have lasting power for me and it is the things which one must spend time with, learn, study, be allowed to grow on you that have staying power.
