Simon Beck is the world s first and most famous snow artist. He graduated in Engineering from Oxford University but decided later on to leave his office job in order to become a cartographer. In December 2004, after a day of skiing, he got the idea to draw a star on the small frozen lake in front of his place. His sense for orientation in combination with his passion for outdoor and physical activities inspired him to complete a snow creation. The day after, looking down from the ski lift; he was impressed by the result. After the next snowfall, he repeated the exercise by creating an even more complex drawing. Snow Art was born. During his childhood, Simon Beck drew mostly geometrical forms. The geometrical drawings were inspired by Koch's snowflake and became more complex over time. Simon s drawings cover an area of 1 to 4 hectares (corresponding to 2 to 8 soccer fields) and take up to 12 hours to complete and demand a walk of 20 to 30 kilometers in the snow - wearing snowshoes. Hence, his creations are both artistic and athletic performances truly unique creations shaped by the varying and challenging conditions of the environment. Simon's creations gather thousands of fans from all around the world with over 270 000 fans on Facebook. He has also created and accomplished Snow Art performances for world-renowned brands. As he is always looking for new experiences, with the desire to raise awareness of the environment, Simon Beck continues to provide beautiful creations and wonderful photos of his fascinating art form. This book is his first and contains the collection of 10 years of groundbreaking artwork.

Simon Beck is remarkable artist whose medium is snow and whose stage is mostly frozen mountain lakes. His ambition is huge but somehow he succeeds.

Wandering in the snow can create stunning art

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015

For some time now, I have followed the snow artist, Simon Beck, on Facebook.

Simon Beck considers himself part of a tradition of land-art that has gone on for thousands of years. By stepping his designs into snow or raking them into sand he keeps an art tradition alive. Short-lived as each artwork is, Beck tries to photograph them as soon as he finishes his projects. As he tells himself, his shortest lived snow art was gone the next morning.

In his Ted Talk below, Mr. Beck explains how he works. By listening to him we get an understanding of how crop circles are made, and he shows us pictures of one of his own crop "circles".

Why a person would choose to work with an ephemeral art form is something I have difficulty understanding. Yet many artists do. Mr. Beck's pictures of his work makes them more permanent. In "Snow Art" we get to see a collection of ten years worth of wonderful art made from walking through the snow.

deja-vu

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016

Nevigrafie (snowgraphies) were previously performed by the aknowledged italian artist Pietro Gallina, in the 70s, as Gallery Of Modern Art of Turin states:
[...]
from the exibition catalog: “Of that period (and more specifically the 1969, year of man leaving footprint on the Moon) are Nevigrafie, footprints in the snow that show the uniqueness and amazement ancient, magical, child of this gesture.”
there is also a beautiful photobook about it:[...]
so no big deal with Mr. Beck “original art”...
