Kinsey

Currently living and working in Los Angeles, Dave Kinsey is widely known for his social commentary delivered through his portrayals of characters from the city streets. While the idea of using the urban landscape as a canvas remains a constant, he continues to show his fine art in galleries in Los Angeles, Paris and New York among others. He was recently invited to exhibit at the URBIS Museum in Manchester and has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Lodown and Black Book.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1971, Kinsey is part of a growing dimension of urban contemporary artists changing the scene of traditional and non-traditional art and visual media. After attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, with an emphasis on fine art illustration, he honed his design skills at the Art Institute of Atlanta, graduating in 1993. He moved to the west coast a year later to pursue a job offer and started the creative design agency BLK/MRKT. Its success allows Kinsey to continue his path as an accomplished designer and contemporary artist.
