Well over a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dave Kinsey while he was in Brussels for his “You Are Here” exhibit at A.L.I.C.E. Gallery.

The following interview comes straight out of the on-point tv archives where it had been burried until I casted a cry for help in the editing process and my man Gunterr – Eckelwood – Blokken jumped up and edited the video. Ghent-based producer Mañanas provided the beats and the result is a beauty.

Chances are this interview will only appeal to the true Kinsey fans, but still it had to be shared with you, as this man is big. Truly big:

“His portraits depict beings who are both triumphant in their defiant stance to their surroundings, and tragic, as they transmit a visual display of raw emotion and jangled nerves.

The style and substance of his body of work originates in street art, and in keeping with his goal “to expose as many people to art as possible and to honor the power art has when it’s created and accepted”, Kinsey founded BLK/MRKT Gallery in 2001, allowing him to provide a crossroads for a new movement of young and electrifying iconoclasts.”
