Chase is a piece of work. Only, it’s hard to say exactly what piece that is. He moved to L.A. from Belgium in 1995 and has made a huge mark in the world of street art, graphic design, fashion, music and very soon — film. What impresses us even more than Chase’s immense success is his message of compassion toward his fellow human. Eyewalls looks at Chase’s history, philosophy and raps with the artist himself.
“I didn’t take my graffiti painting into art school. I separated the two and just did graffiti in the holidays. I never use my street tag in my canvases, but I think describing me as a sellout for working on canvas is a weak argument. They’re completely different things. It’s frustrating that people try to pigeonhole me as a street artist or graffiti writer. It’s all very tenuous.” — from BBC interview
